After our Pookie was spayed, she could barely make any sounds except for whimpering. She was hoarse for days. The tubing is hard on them. I'm sure it did make Bella's throat sore. She may feel like she needs to swallow and it probably hurts when she tries. I wouldn't get too worried about it. If she isn't drinking, you can try doing what we did. We gave Pookie water with a syringe to start with and added a little karo to it. She was actually really thirsty since she hadn't had anything to drink for 24 hours. We fed her soft food for a couple of days and then she went back to regular food mixed with soft. |
