what the origin of the word "spay" is that describes an oviohysterectomy procedure in animals? i asked the vet today, but she didn't know...i was wondering if it was an arconym for something or if it was named after a place or a vet who invented the procedure...ie the first oviohysterectomy performed on animals was in Spay Germany (yes there is such a place) or the first oviohysterectomy in domestic animals was performed by Dr. Spay...or SPAY stands for Surgical Prevention Animal Young
anyway..i couldn't find anywhere on the net why a spay really is called a spay (my guesses are pretty stupid)...so does anyone really know????
speaking of...june did ok with her spay surgery and charlie had a bit of a rough time with her mammary tumour removal (her blood pressure dropped down low) but they are both doing ok now and can come home tomorrow morning.
Nice to hear that Katie is settling in nicely.
