My 6 mo old yorkie will be spayed on Friday. I'm so nervous. I don't know what to expect. I have so many questions. Could someone plz try to answer them for me: 1. What do I do if she has problems going pee/poop? 2. What food is better, wet or dry to assist above question? 3. I've heard that dogs hide their pain and try to make you think they have bounced back after a couple of days? How will I know when she's ready to have normal activity (play, fetch)? 4. Do all yorkies have problems with taking pain meds due to "liver"? 5. Do I put the onesie on after she comes home or take it to the vet and have them put on before I pick her up? 6. Is a onesie better or should I use a diaper incase she can't go outside to eliminate cuz she is so druged, especially on the first day? 7. If she doesn't eat the first day or two, is that bad and should I still give her nutri-cal for nurishment? 8. Is it better to leave her in her playpen while recovering for a couple of days to prevent jumping? Thank you so much for your help. I'm really scared !!! Sheryl, Bartlett, IL (PeanutAnn mommie).
