My vet prefers to keep animals overnight after spay even though there is no 24 hour monitoring. I refuse to leave her unattended the evening of her surgery so I informed him that I would be bringing her home this evening. He was fine with that. Does anyone have any tips on how I can make her evening of recovery as comfy as possible? Is there a special way I need to hold her when taking her potty to minimize discomfort? I just want to make sure she has as little discomfort as possible. Thanks!!! |
Rio was just 2.8 lbs when she was spayed, so I'm sure your baby will be just fine. When you pick her up, just av oid her tummy/incision by holding her under her front armpits with one hand and scooping up her bottom with your other hand. She'll be pretty groggy when you bring her home - that's normal. She may shake or be cold - again, common after anesthesia. Just keep her warm. She probably won't eat much until the next day. Sending fast-healing prayers!
