Keeping girls calm and comfortable for a few days is important, and absolutely avoid jumping. My vet says pain meds are optional, but I always take some home just in case it is needed to avoid a 2 hr. trip back to the vet. Since she can't communicate to you that she is in pain, you just watch for symptoms like whining or shivering (I know you will know), and like any good nurse you can give the meds which will also help her relax.
Be prepared to use an E-collar in case she is a licker, cause they don't make onesies in her size (haha).
Good luck! |
