I think they are much like people - some of us seem to recover more quickly than others - she is my first little yorkie so I am very very attentive to her - as long as there is no sign of infection ( fever or redness around the incision) and her kidneys and bowls working which you say they are I wouldn't worry too much- I know it's hard not to  I called my vet 2 times the week after and he assured me that as long as there was no fever - throwing up and she was taking water she would heal in at her own pace and she did. Hope this helps Marlene |
Thank you Marlene...yes bowels are working and she will take water from me. There is no vomiting/diarrhea and I just took her temp: 100.5 NORMAL
Also her pain meds have a side effect of loss of appetite and lethargy. Today was her last day on them. I am thinking she is on the mend...just slowly!
