I feel so bad. She can't even whine/bark right probably from the tracheal tube... So I have to listen for these little wheezy noises that means she wants to potty. She can't get up from the potty position on her own either  I have to help her stand back up. |
Oh my goodness....poor little Rylie!!
Maya didn't WANT to move much, but she didn't have any problems getting up from the potty position....of course, she only went out once the evening we brought her home, too...she mostly slept. (Bella was exactly the same way when she was spayed just over 2 yrs ago...wanted to sleep and didn't want to move much that first evening, but she was ABLE to move when she decided to.)
She also didn't have any trouble whining.....she whined for a bit when I picked her up at the vet's, during the car ride home, and then for just a bit once we were home too. It didn't surprise me...she's always been my crybaby!
But I never heard ANY wheezy noises! Does the vet know she's making noises like that? If so, then I'm sure it's nothing to worry about (and might not be anyway???)....I'm sure every dog has a different experience.
I've been giving Maya the liquid Metacam that the vet sent home with her. After the first morning home I don't think she really needed it, but her pre-op labs were amazing AND she's a tough little girl...not sure I'd be able to tell if she DID need it, so I didn't think it would hurt to just err on the side of caution and give it to her!! (When Bella was spayed we found out about her liver issue, and so I only dosed her that first morning after and then didn't anymore because she didn't seem like she needed it at all....and Bella's NOT tough
, so I would've known for sure if she did.)
Rylie....I'm sorry to hear you're so out of sorts today!!
We'll be thinking about you and hoping you wake up tomorrow refreshed and feeling MUCH better!!!
