YT 2000 Club Member | Worried About Jazzie For those of you who don't know, Jazzie was spayed yesterday, her weight pre surgery yesterday was 4 pounds 14 ounces, shes' going on 1 year and 8 months old. The last time she ate was Thursday at 6:00 in the evening, then has surgery the next morning. She still hasn't eatin anything ad I'm getting so worried about her. I have a call into the doc to see if he thinks I should try boneless skinless chicken breast and white rice, or some canned food. She's not drinking on her own yet either. I mixed kayro syrup and water yesterday and gave her 2 ml of that about every hour and a half yesterday, but not through the night. At 8:30 this morning I gave her 2 mls of the liquid as well, but she still won't eat or drink. Waiting for the doc to call back, any suggestions in the meantime? I'm just so worried about her, I wish she'd eat and drink. Doc sent me home rimadyl for her for pain, but she has to eat something with it to have it. I'm not crazy about the rimadyl, had a horrible experience with it with boxer boy Isaiah who's now in heaven. Has anyone ever given rimadyl to their yorkies? If so, what has been your expeirience with it, good or bad?

YT 2000 Club Member | Thank you Joyce. I just had my son to get a chicken breast out of the freezer for me, but my DH was wrong, we're out of them.... Now I can't get to the store till my husband gets home from work at 3:30 this afternoon. I'm going to try adding some warm water to her kibble and see if I can get her to eat any. I know when Mags was you and so tiny and she was spayed, I had a horrible time with her after her spay trying to get her to eat as well. I just want her to be ok.

| She should be able to have it, it is easy on the tummy...I know when Yoshi had his neuter he did well and back to himself the next day but it takes longer for the spaying. I really dread having Prissy's done.

| I'm sorry Jazzie isn't eating. Maybe the anesthesia took away her appetite? Is there anything special that she really likes that you could entice her with? I'll be praying for her. |

| Try hamburger and pasta, just make sure to rinse off the hamburger with water to remove most of the grease. Worked for Keno, |

YT 2000 Club Member | I heard back from the doc, he said it was fine for her to have the skinless boneless chicken breast and what I was doing with the water and kayro was good as well. I made up a batch of the chicken and rice and started off with a heaping teaspoon full of it, Jazzie ATE!!! :-) I also put some of the kayro water over it before I gave it to her and she lapped the plate clean. I feel lots better knowing she has something in her lil tummy now. Now lets just hope she keeps it down. Thank you all for the replies and prayers, I appreciate it.

| Glad to hear that she ate the Chickie and Rice. As for the Rimadyl I don't give mine that as it caused runny poops. I do how ever use Metacam or Deramaxx. Those are my choices for my kid's.

| I am sorry Jazzie reacted badly but I am so relieved to hear she did eat something. Sometimes it just takes a real yummy meal to jump start the appetite. I hope the whole thing is behind you now and that Jazzie is her old self again really soon.

YT 2000 Club Member | Thank you everyone. I gave Jazzie another heaping teaspoon full of the chicken and rice about a half hour ago. I'm hoping this jump starts her appetite and she'll start back on her kibble soon. I'm gong to hold off on giving her anymore chicken and rice until this evening, I'd really like her to get back to her kibble. She was so picky when we got her and it took weeks to get her to eat right, I don't wanna mess that up by giving her chicken and rice so much that/that's the only thing she'll eat. I so didn't wanna give her the rimadyl, (I had a bad experience with it with our beloved boxer boy Isaiah some years ago so I'm not crazy about that med. The med from yesterday had worn off though and I knew she was hurtin by the sounds she was making, so, I went ahead and split the pill in half like I was supposed to and gave it to her with some kayro water, she seems to be feelin better. I've got her back in her kennel on her bed resting, hopefully this will all be behind us very soon. Has anyone heard from the other gals who's babies were spayed and neutered yesterday? I wonder how their doing?
