Lucy Too Spay Day



My son’s dog is two years old today and, as luck would have it, she was also scheduled to get spayed.

Oddly, my son’s first Pit Bull —the Original Lucy — died on this same day in 2020, at age 11, three months after being diagnosed with bladder cancer.

The spay went well, and without a hitch. Terrific work at an incredibly low price for a nearly 60-pound dog. done by a small town vet that specializes in low-cost cat and dog spays.  Recommended to me by the local big-town shelter about 20 miles away.  A clean well-lighted surgery attached to a boarding kennel.  

Total was $298 including pre-op blood work ($47), spay ($215), 3-year rabies vaccine ($17), microchip ($14), and Carpofen ($5).  They did her nails for free.

The only catch was I had to schedule in May to get a September appointment.  Glad I did it!  It’s my son’s dog and every dollar saved is as good as gold.
