Hi I just had my 7 month old spayed in MAY on a friday I picked her up from the vet @ 3pm and she was very groggy took her home and let her just lay on a soft blanket folded over into 4s , She really slept most of the night I moved her to her wee wee pad and she just let loose then I moved her back to her blanket Saturday I made her some boiled chicken and Rice to eat to get the meds into her and then agin she slept most of the day/night , By Sunday she was mobile but too sore to play but my Monday she was back to her old self ! I didn't but anything on her no coller on onsie she never went for rthe incision @ all . good luck with your baby - Kathy 9Katies Mom
