 What to feed after spay?
I know this is probably posted somewhere else but I searched and couldn't find it, and since I'm a bit worried I didn't want to wait any longer.
Stella got spayed today...she came through fine and she's here with me sleepy and groggy as can be. However, she vet said to feed her tonight (she hasn't eaten since 7pm yesterday), but she doesn't seem to want any of that. She had three baby teeth removed, so her mouth might be sore too. I soaked her food in chicken broth which normally gets her to eat it, but she still won't. Should I keep trying the kibble or should I switch to something more appealing like chicken breast and white rice? How long should I wait until I worry a lot? I'm supposed to give her pain and anti-inflammatory meds tonight with food so I need to make sure she eats at some point before sleep.
Any suggestions? Thanks so much! |
