| Mimi is getting spayed soon..nervous mommy Mimi is getting spayed next week. I just wanted to know like what i should be doing after her surgery? Is she going to be in a lot of pain? DO I feed her still? Do I need to get the cone that goes over her neck and how long would she have to put it on for? Sorry for so much questions, first time getting my baby spayed..

| Oh, most of us totally understand how you feel, I also was a nervous wreck before Mazee had her surgery. I almost cried when I had to drop her off! After her surgery she was pretty sore. The vet gave us pain meds but I only gaver her 1 think. She slept alot but still ate like normal, the main thing I think is to not let them jump, Mazee didn't even attempt get up on the couch or anything. she would just stand by the couch and we lifted her up-also just set her down, no jumping at all. Mazee wore a onesie the first night after her surgery, I wanted to make sure she didn't bother her incision. I cut out the back end so she could still pee with it on. After the first couple of days she never bothered her incision so I didn't have anything on her. Hopefully this helped! Let us know how Mimi is doing after her surgery-try not to worry too much, even tho we know it is impossible!

| Cookie was just spayed last friday. I did shed a tear when i dropped her off. After the surgery she was groggy for the first two days. It is kinda hard trying to keep her confined in her crate to keep her from jumping. She is healing well ans she has worn a baby onesie from the first day. She weighs 4.7lbs and wears a newborn. She is back to her ole self after just 6 days. By next friday she will be able to take her onesie off. I do know how you are feeling as we are all nervous when we have to put our babies under anesthesia. the vet told me to call at 3pm to check on her. How do you ecpect me to wait till 3pm! Its 8 am....i called at 12 and she was out of surgery and resting....

| I DO NOT look forward to getting Tobie neutered... I know I am going to be a nervous wreck too. I'm sure your baby will be fine but I understand that it's hard not to be nervous.

| Baxter gets neutered in two weeks, so I understand your nervousness!! My rommate's dad is a vet, so he will be performing the surgery. That puts me a little more at ease.

| madison just got spayed on monday and at first i was soooo worried about her. mimi will probably be extremely tired when you bring her home. she'll just want to sleep... madison did she took extra long powernaps and would wake up to drink a little and stretch. our vet said not to give food for at least 2 hours after she got home and she did eat but just 1/2 the food she usually does. i didn't get a cone because it bothers me the way they look and i feel like they can't function normally with it on since its in the way. i used a baby onesie on her (preemie size) for the first few days and snipped a little slit just above where the snaps are for her tail. you put it on like you would have it on a baby and the snap part is like right at their little butt. not sure how much mimi weighs but madison is 4lbs and the preemie fit perfectly the vet gave us pain meds.. rimadyl to be exact and i give her 1/4 of the tablet every day for the swelling. shes doing well now, i've been monitoring her without the onesie and she hasnt tried to lick it or anything so i'm going to keep it off so she can use the bathroom when she wants. i hope everything goes well for mimi! you can PM me if you have any questions!

| Awww, Mimi will be fine (easy for me to say). I was a nervous wreck when Hot Rod was neutered. I waited for the vets office to call me with an update and got really anxious and wound up calling them. Well, my cell phone somehow was on vibrate so I hadn't heard it. All went well and I was right there to pick him up when it was time. Good luck and hugs. She will do great.

| my vet told me to give my puppy a little bit of food and water at a time b/c they are more likely to vomit after anesthesia. molly recovered pretty quickly (2-3 days). i kept her in her xpen a lot the first 2 days so she wouldn't wear herself out. she took a lot of naps! |
