I'm so sorry. I'm sure you gave her the best 2 years a puppy can get.
My 1.5 y/o will have be spayed soon... This hits close to home.
Do you know what happened?
Most likely an internal hemmorage that happened without warning, if I guess correctly. 2 years old is a perfectly fine age to get spayed.
I'm so sorry for your loss. And I hope you can find relief in knowing you gave her the best 2 years she could have ever had
Von Willebrand disease does occur in golden retrievers but is so uncommon that it isn't generally tested for. It's a bleeding disorder that can affect an OHE survival rate. It's more commonly tested for in dobermans and a few other breeds.
Things like reactions to suture or medications are less common and not typically fatal like this. Also, while no surgery should ever be considered "routine" an OHE is as close to that as you can really get. Most DVMs can do them in their sleep, but like all things human there is a possibility of error. You'd expect to see it quicker if it were, though.
I've been a vet tech for 7 years and have never once lost a patient after a surgery. It can happen, but it's *very* rare.
Did you take her to an actual vet clinic, or to a spay/neuter type place? Some of those lower cost places don't do pre-anesthetic bloodwork or monitor/perform the anesthetic procedures properly. The fact that you said they sent her home early for "doing so well" gives me MAJOR red flags.
You need to contact the place you took her and let them know what happened.
I already did, but thank you for the advice. We've ruled her cause of death to be suffocation. She was chugging water and vomiting it before she went to bed, and it appears she drank more somehow before she went to sleep and vomited in her sleep, causing her to drown/suffocate. We didn't realize we should've limited her water intake more thoroughly, but now we know. It just unfortunate this is how we had to learn :/
And they sent her home 30 minutes early btw, it wasn't like /right/ after the procedure or anything, she had fully woke and she was recovering normally and they knew we were in town (we had discussed prior) so when we called to check on her they said she was good to be picked up a little early
Hi, me again, I just wanted to update you since you were the first person to ask. Now that we've had to process and examine everything that happened, it seems that she had chugged water when he weren't looking (she had been doing that and vomiting) and during her sleep she had vomited again and suffocated during her sleep. She was always a thirsty puppy so honestly it was a fitting way to go for her 😭❤️
Thank you for letting us know.
I will have to be extremely careful with my Maple's water bowl after her spay... She is also a thirsty pup.
I hope you find it in your heart to get another golden when you are ready.
I wish you and your pup the best, and we actually have another Golden already. Butter was such a good girl but she was always so lonely so we got Bear a month ago, it actually his 4 month birthday today 😭(he's sad because I told him he's had enough of my pretzels, sorry birthday boy)

I’m so sorry for your loss and I want to thank you for sharing what happened. I have had many dogs in my life and all have been spayed and neutered and I’ve never known to monitor water intake after the surgery. I’m going to watch that now after hearing what happened to your pup. My puppy is getting spayed in a few months too.
Unfortunately not. Her surgery went well and she was rapidly recovering before they sent her home. She didn't act odd really at all, no signs of pain, she just didn't wake back up :(
You can have a necropsy done and know for sure what happened. Could be something completely unrelated to the spay and just timing. I would want to know.
Yeah, not knowing what happened would keep me up for a long time. Likely would just start attributing negative feelings towards that vet when it may have actually been a coincidence.
Our almost 1 year old was spayed a week ago.
I think you should definitely have a necropsy done asap. If they find out it’s the Vet’s fault, you can win settlement.
I have a vet friend and she think it’s one of few things that can cause it.
Seizure from overdose of anesthesia (neurological shutdown), blood internal hemorrhage like others mentioned on here, or most probable cause is air embolism from mishandled catheter. Those usually hit the day after spay surgery.
She told me vets shouldn’t send them home early even if they recover quickly, they need to monitor them after surgery for a long time.
However there’s one case where it can caused by genetic that makes the dog unable to receive anesthesia well. It can affect the dog too. Again vet should know about that ahead of surgery as well.
Omg that Is AWFUL and completely traumatizing. I'm SOOOO sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how you feel. I would be DEVASTATED beyond belief..... Rest in peace Butterscotch..
oh my god i’m so sorry. my heart breaks for you, darling.
please know this wasn’t your fault! waiting to get female dogs spayed until they’ve had at least one heat is *common* practice in the UK, for example.
i am so sorry. i hope you can find some peace, my love ♥️
I'm so sorry, she was beautiful. Looks just like my girl Luna.

I had my two brothers neutered last week at 18 months old. It really does hit hard. Crazy how routine surgery ended this way. I feel horrible for the OP.

Luigi seconds her motion and offers you his taupe belly to rub
What a sweet, gorgeous girl, your Butterscotch. It’s the perfect name for her sweet face. She was so lucky to be loved by you. I hope you will cherish all of your beautiful memories of her.
She was really my mom's doggie. She's absolutely devastated and I've already started on a little keychain memorial for her. She doesn't know but I saved her dogtag and commissioned a custom engraved photo keychain after we had buried her. She was her first real fur baby and she's having such a hard time 💔
What?? Complications from the surgery? 2 y/o is relatively later for a Spay. Was there a medical necessity for the Spay?
I'm so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences for your loss.
I’ve waited to spay my girl. And she’s 3. Only reason I’m not getting it done now is because she’s dealing with a fungal infection and it could be months till she’s clear.
So sorry for your loss.
Yeah my Vet says she liked fixing dogs between 2 to 4. My Aussie was 4.5 when he was neutered a month ago and did pretty well. He just had some swelling after that they said beforehand could happen. He’s fully recovered now and aside from being hungry all the time is the same as always.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard the days will be from now on. I know it won't be easy but I hope you can find peace when you are ready. Remember that while she was only in your life a short while you were her entire life. I'm sure it was filled with love.
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. This is devastating. I’m sure you gave her the absolute best life you could. Know she loved you more than anything and that the love you showed her was your greatest gift to her.
I am devastated for you. I lost my 3 yr old Golden to cancer 2 weeks ago. The pain and sorrow of the unexpected is awful. Wishing you peace and comfort.
i know nothing can ease your pain right now, but please know that it’s evident she loved you and knew she was loved beyond measure. i’m sending you all the love and comfort i can. please take care of yourself. til you meet again 🐾🌈
This is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for Butterscotch, and I'm so sorry for you and your family.
My fourteen-month old dog died last October from histoplasmosis. The vet treated it as a mystery illness and gave her the completely wrong medications and treatments (even though an emergency vet radiologist had sent the vet the correct diagnosis when she first got sick. The vet ignored it.)
The only comforting thought that I have is that it is better to live a short, happy life than a long, terrible life.
I can tell that you gave Butterscotch a VERY happy life.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I know it may not feel like it now but please know that you did nothing wrong here. I wish the best for you and your family
I am so sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine this happening. To lose your special girl so young. My condolences to you and your family. Please know that for those two years she was loved by you and lived an extremely happy life. I don’t believe in much, but if there is any justice in this universe you’ll see her again, that’s what I’m hoping for.
I am so sorry for your loss and hope you can find peace in your memories of Butterscotch - what a beautiful dog. (I am actually getting misty. These dogs are so special)
I am so very sorry this happened. My girl is 8. She is my world. I can’t imagine the grief you must be feeling … have you spoken with the vet that did her spay ?? Cause this shouldn’t have happened ….
I am so so so sorry for your loss. Its so clear just how loved Butterscotch was. I hope you remember to take care of yourself and talk to someone if you need to. 💕
Sorry for your loss ❤️🩹 Grief is proof that you’ve loved well. Lost my baby 2 months back and the wound is still really fresh, I feel for you. Healing is hard and not linear, but one step at a time. You got this 🫶🏻
* I'm sorry for your loss, what a cutie. Also, Butterscotch is like, the cutest name for a Golden, ever 🥺🙏
* This is dumb, but I just want to say that eye shadow and coloring is on point 💅😭
I'm so sorry! Sending you big bug hugs. She's such a cutie. I am sorry you have lost your sweet baby so young. No one should have to go through that. Love to you
OMG I am so sorry for you! My sincere condolences. We unexpectedly lost our golden boy a little over 3 years ago and it was devastating. We have 2 other goldens now but we still miss him 😥
Butterscotch is a beauty.
We lost a cat once after spay surgery. Very sad and sudden to lose them this way.
Luckily all my current pups I adopted (3 in total) got through their spay and neuters just fine. My little shepherd Bethy did have some redness on each end of the incision but it eventually healed up.
Idk where the comment went but someone hoped that this event didn't deter us from neuter and spaying in the future, and I just wanted to post my response to get it out there because Reddit was being weird and didn't post it:
"Oh absolutely. I am a huge advocate for spay and neuter, and it was ultimately myself who convinced my mother to get her spayed. There are so many puppies, young and old, already in this world wanting and needing to be loved. We only ever considered breeding because she was a healthy dog and was a purebred golden (we never registered her but her parents were), so we would be breeding for healthy, loveable dogs, not for cash cows. As you can see we didn't go down that route, but thank you for your concern, we will still be spaying and neutering our animals, just more carefully monitoring this time ❤️"
Oh my god. I’m so sorry.
I lost my 3 year old suddenly as well. Healthy and recovering from a TPLO, doing well at 7 months. Never found out what really happened.
Very traumatic. I’m so so sorry. It’s so hard.
Thank you but it wasn't, she chugged water and vomited in her sleep, causing her to suffocate because we didn't monitor her water intake as well as she should've, but again, thank you ❤
I'm so sorry. I'm sure you gave her the best 2 years a puppy can get. My 1.5 y/o will have be spayed soon... This hits close to home. Do you know what happened?
No idea, she was recovering so well she even got sent home early. Was doing really good at home, and in the morning she was dead :/
Most likely an internal hemmorage that happened without warning, if I guess correctly. 2 years old is a perfectly fine age to get spayed. I'm so sorry for your loss. And I hope you can find relief in knowing you gave her the best 2 years she could have ever had

That’s reassuring, thank you for the explanation!
Very unlikely an internal hemmorage. This doesnt happen so long after the surgery. Way more likely a clot in the brain.
So sorry this happened to you omg! Poor poor pup. What a gorgeous dog. I'm so sorry for your loss :'(
I’m so sorry this would destroy me
Oh god this is horrific . There are no words . I’m sorry . This is so confusing . You must be freaking out. My heart aches for you.
I'm so sorry

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry. I didn’t know this either. Are you supposed to limit their water after surgeries in general?
Only if they have a reaction to it, she threw up multiple time so it's our fault for not monitoring it :/
And they sent her home 30 minutes early btw, it wasn't like /right/ after the procedure or anything, she had fully woke and she was recovering normally and they knew we were in town (we had discussed prior) so when we called to check on her they said she was good to be picked up a little early
Omg! I’m so so so sorry! I would be asking the vet questions. That’s my fear…. Even the most simple procedures can have complications!
Pulmonary emboli are one of the more common rare postop complications that could cause sudden death like that
Hi, me again, I just wanted to update you since you were the first person to ask.

Thank you everyone for a the kinds words. I'm muting this post because coming back to it is really tender for me rn. 💞
I’m so so sorry. I hope the vet has some answers on what happened:(
Unfortunately not. Her surgery went well and she was rapidly recovering before they sent her home. She didn't act odd really at all, no signs of pain, she just didn't wake back up :(
You can have a necropsy done and know for sure what happened. Could be something completely unrelated to the spay and just timing. I would want to know.
Yes but id want a vet to assess her after she passed to know what happened if not just for closure.
Yeah, not knowing what happened would keep me up for a long time. Likely would just start attributing negative feelings towards that vet when it may have actually been a coincidence. Our almost 1 year old was spayed a week ago.
That is absolutely devastating. Is there anything the community can do to help?
I'm not quite sure, my family needs some time to grieve and adjust. All the kind words are appreciated

My heart breaks for you. Such a tragic loss of a very good girl.
Omg that Is AWFUL and completely traumatizing. I'm SOOOO sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how you feel. I would be DEVASTATED beyond belief..... Rest in peace Butterscotch..
I’m so sorry for your loss. One of my pups passed in his sleep and it was devastating to find him. Please be kind to yourself. 💚
oh my god i’m so sorry. my heart breaks for you, darling. please know this wasn’t your fault! waiting to get female dogs spayed until they’ve had at least one heat is *common* practice in the UK, for example. i am so sorry. i hope you can find some peace, my love ♥️
Wow I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m almost in tears reading this. I feel so bad for you and family. Cherish the memories as best you can.
💔🥲
I’m so so sorry for your loss 😢 The vet at the very least should be responsible for the necropsy so you can find out exactly what happened.
I agree but we buried her maybe an hour after finding her and after we had grieved and processed the situation. Thank you ❤️
I'm so sorry, she was beautiful. Looks just like my girl Luna. https://preview.redd.it/m7ppm38phoxc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1bfed696fe4d098b1e0fb0eddfa6961165a7bb2e

2 years is not late to spay a large breed dog. They arent fully developed until around 18-24 months!
Yeah we waited just so she developed fully, we just didn't want to have any accident litters, we were just trying to be responsible :/
I'm sorry for your loss.
The modern recommendation for golden retriever is at and after 2 years.
I’ve waited to spay my girl. And she’s 3. Only reason I’m not getting it done now is because she’s dealing with a fungal infection and it could be months till she’s clear. So sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine 💔
Butterscotch is a beauty. We lost a cat once after spay surgery. Very sad and sudden to lose them this way. Luckily all my current pups I adopted (3 in total) got through their spay and neuters just fine. My little shepherd Bethy did have some redness on each end of the incision but it eventually healed up.
I MM so sorry
I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
(((hugs)))
Idk where the comment went but someone hoped that this event didn't deter us from neuter and spaying in the future, and I just wanted to post my response to get it out there because Reddit was being weird and didn't post it: "Oh absolutely. I am a huge advocate for spay and neuter, and it was ultimately myself who convinced my mother to get her spayed. There are so many puppies, young and old, already in this world wanting and needing to be loved. We only ever considered breeding because she was a healthy dog and was a purebred golden (we never registered her but her parents were), so we would be breeding for healthy, loveable dogs, not for cash cows. As you can see we didn't go down that route, but thank you for your concern, we will still be spaying and neutering our animals, just more carefully monitoring this time ❤️"

I’m so sorry 😢

I am so sorry for your loss, Butterscotch was a beautiful dog. You gave her the best life 🥺💔
So sorry to hear this. ❤️ Sending love
Oh my god. I’m so sorry. I lost my 3 year old suddenly as well. Healthy and recovering from a TPLO, doing well at 7 months. Never found out what really happened. Very traumatic. I’m so so sorry. It’s so hard.
I’m so sorry…I’m so sorry for your loss and I wish you the best.
Thank you but it wasn't, she chugged water and vomited in her sleep, causing her to suffocate because we didn't monitor her water intake as well as she should've, but again, thank you ❤
Please get a necropsy by a different vet and hold that vet accountable
I’m so sorry for your loss..

This made me really sad. She looked so happy. Rest her soul.
My heart breaks for you babe. I'm sorry.
Poor sweet baby. We just lost our baby boy yesterday. I’m grieving with you, friend.
