I went through this twice with my girls. its actually not that bad, very common procedure. plus, its for her own good.
you should not give food or water pass midnight tonight, so make sure she eats and drinks plenty before that. after she gets home from surgery, she probably will not eat much due to the effect of anesthesia. I would not recommend sleeping with her after the surgery, and she will be still out that night that she probably won't care much.
after my girls got spayed I put her in a baby playyard with food and water within. put a couple blankets (clean ones) in there to keep her warm. its very important that she gets enough rest, and follow the vet's direction on pain meds, she should do just fine the very next day!
my younger girl's wound was glued together, no stitches, even better. |
