What to expect after a spay?? So Marley is doing good now. She was spayed yesterday morning, they kept her until 3 that evening. They said that she did really well and they had given her some pain meds b4 giving her to me so she wouldnt need anymore. When I got her home we laid on a pallet on the floor and fell asleep. Then I woke up to her jumping onto the couch! It's her "spot" on the couch that she wanted to get to. I let her lay there and sat there with her all night while she slept. She was having the shakes on and off. She just started to eat some wet dog food thing morning. I made her sleep in her cage with her doggy bed and blanket bc I did not want her jumping again while I slept. When I went to her cage she was all excited and seemed normal but that went away after about 5 minutes and she was tired again. Poor baby has cotton mouth so bad that I force fed about 1 tsp of water with a syringe just to help her out, she still seems so miserable. Can anyone else give me advice on what to expect?? Behavior changes? I am doing my best to keep my other furbutt away from her , hes so young and just wants to play all the time. Right now i have her cage in a room with nothing she can jump on and the cage is blocking the door way so she cant roam the house. How long should I keep her pinned in one room like that while I am gone?
