If you do those two things, she should be just fine. She'll be groggy, sore, and tired for a few days but then she'll be back to herself before you know it.
So far as staying overnight: I would only leave my dog overnight if there was someone there monitoring the dogs 24/7. I would NOT leave my dog overnight if no one was there (even if the vet goes and checks once during the night). |
I agree. There is no way I'd leave my dog overnight after a surgery if there was nobody there AWAKE watching. That would be like the staff leaving a human hospital at night and checking in every couple hours....not a good idea. If your vet office has someone there AWAKE the entire time then you might consider letting her stay. Then they can watch overnight. That being said, Ellie was spayed a couple months ago and her vet is open 24 hours. They release all spays the same day, which is fine. I decided to stay up all night with her just in case. Everything was fine.
