skunk spaying

[cs3ae]

So we have finally done it Moose and Daisy are both booked into be spayed on wednesday. I think im going to be a nervous wreck and will typically be on nights so its going to be down to my dad to look after them. Also think im going to have two very hungry skunks on our hands as been told they cant eat after 8pm. Has anyone got any advise on caring from them afterwards and coping with two hungry skunks before hand.

I was a total nervous wreck when Tinkerbell was done a couple of months ago,was a waste of time going to work, I was useless ! Tinks coped wonderfully well and has a neat little scar now where she was glued, she was a little bit sleepy straight afterwards but that wore off extremely quickly. She had the op at 3.00pm and was wandering round as normal at 6.00pm and trying to keep her calm just didn't happen. Amazing when you think how hopeless us humans would be after an op like that!The only thing I've noticed is that she hasn't been able to climb quite as much since!

Thanks for that I know im going to awful while they are there. Thankfully I no longer have to work as im of sick so I can look after moose afterwards which at least means my dad only has to have daisy. Dont think he would cope with two sick skunks.

Well ive now left two very hungry skunks down the vet. Now just have to wait till the vet phones. Did find it quite funny that they had to have name bands put on thou it reminds me of being at work.
