Hi all,

Last time i had a dog that got spayed i was 4 so im looking for info as to how to deal with a recovering doggy...

i know she mustn't run around or jump up for a few days but thats about all,.....

any advice?

She goes in tomorrow morning so im getting really nervous..... I feel terrible putting her through that even though its for her own good in the end.....

Think thats about all,just keep her quiet and lead walking till the vet signs her off.Good luck




Exactly as Zantababy say's, rest and no jumping around - china will be fine

((HUGS))) to you too cause I know how worried you will be feeling.




Thanks guys,

im terrified.

Just in case something happens.

i Borrowed hevvur's crate and she is more than happy to go in and sleep etc which is great.

OH has taken 1 week annual leave to stay with her after the op. I just look at her sweet little face and feel terrible that she will be in pain, i feel like i should be protecting her from it not subjecting her to it!

Its easier said than done as I was the same, but try not to worry.
When Ruby got done she was fine in no time The day she came home she was quiet and slept in her cage most of the time, but after that she was back to her over excited self. As everyone has said we just had to try and stop her from jumping up.

she jumps up to get a stroke, food, lick faces, get on sofa, bed etc....in fact she always does, its her greeting!!!! jump up and stretch...!

also she has to go down a flight of stairs to go for apee....will this be ok?

xx Good luck China I would carry her up and down the stairs if you can to prevent pulling on the stitches ...




She'll be fine Alex. Try not to worry. The recovery from spaying is usually very quick - within a couple of days they "act" almost normal, so you have to be careful not to resume exercise too early. Just follow what the vet says, and all will be well. Thinking of you both {{{hugs}}} xx





China,

Cassie was quiet the first day, but we couldn't stop her on the second. I couldn't move quick enough to stop her on the stairs and everytime she went up them, I flinched thinking about the stitches. We tried to stay in the same place, both of us in the same room and keep her quiet but she was having none of it. Just do your best, that's all you can do. They recover very quickly.




just spoke to the vet she is coming round and very sleepy. Thanks mini, i thought i would have to carry her...!!!

thanks all for the advice

i felt terrib;e this morning.

Ended up in tears at work.

They ahd to muzzle her coz she was snapping at the vet when they were checking her over. she looked all panciked and red eyed.

OH is off for then next week to look after her...i just feel so guilty.

I knew she would be fine, its just guilt....
