When we brought Emmy home from getting spayed AND a hernia removed at the same time, we got the same release orders from the vet. She slept all the way home (4 hours) and then through the night. The next day she was her wild and crazy self again. She did
not understand no jumping on the furniture or off the bed, no running and hurdling full speed ahead. I tried containing her, but she was crazy in the crate. I gave up...she played hard, I worried, but all was and is well.
Good luck!!!!
