Yorkie Talker | Spading my yorkie and knowing what to do for her return home I am scheduled to have my female yorkie fixed next week. she is a 10 month old weighing 2.8 lbs. I am stationed overseas in Japan so language is sometime a barrier. I have come to wonder if i need to take any time off to care for her after her surgery? she will be going in on Monday Nov 1st and will leave the 2nd of Nov. did anyone encounter a need for staying at home to help her after her surgery? is there any other items I need to prepare for her at home? please let me know. |

| Mine had surgery on Friday so i could stay home with them over the weekend. Bella did not even know she had surgery, but i had to be there to keep her from jumping. I did not want her to get a hernia. Piper didnt feel great. She just wanted to cuddle, so i was glad I was there for that. I chose not to use the cone around their head that the Vet recommends. I put bella in a long tshirt and Piper in a one piece outfit made for a human baby. i just cut a hole for the tail. you just dont want them to lick their incision or chew on stitches. I am glad i was home for 2 days after. just because they both acted so differerntly. Good luck with her spay. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | If possible I would try and be home at least the next day with her. She may sleep a lot but It's nice to be home with them. Usually by the 3rd day or so they are feeling much better. Also, if you can find a baby onsies to help keep her from licking the stitches, it is more comfortable for them then the cones they put on.
