Argh! I have had her home for 2 hours but have not posted because she has been sleeping on my lap and I was too scared to move her. My poor little zooming baby is SO not zooming right now. She just looks so completely pooped out. I wish there was some way that a dog could be "chemically" spayed, so that they would not have to suffer through this.
I took her to the garage to try pee, she just walked around in circles over the paper and looked at me, but did nothing.(Did not want to risk outside in the yard). Is this normal. Also, do they get constipated after general anesthesia? Mango is prone to constipation as it is, so I want to be extra careful here. I could not bear the thought of any more pressure in her little tummy area than is absolutely necessary.

It is so much harder than I thought to watch her like this. I just wish I could make it all better. She lies on my lap, and keeps looking over her shoulder at me, then laying her head back down....it's like "Mommy how could you let them do this to me?" Like I said before, I truly know this is a "routine" surgery, but for me there is nothing "routine" in watching one of my babies suffer.
I am happy I have you guys to give me advice and hear my "moans", because I know that you all feel exactly the same way.
Hugs,
Lauren
