Should I feed her the in the morning?

what's the best care for the wound?
and will the econe hurt her?
I'm so lost I just want the best for my baby.. Again. please help |
Your vet should have given you directions about feeding/not feeding before surgery. ZoE was not to be fed after midnight...like a gremlin
She was spayed around 10am and I picked her up about 4pm. She was obviously sore and groggy that day and the next and she slept alot. The vet gave her pain medicine to take home (and I also bought extra because ZoE was spayed prior to a holiday weekend & vet's office would be closed). She was only really out of it for a couple of days, then back to her normal self. I didn't use an econe as I used baby onesies on her to keep the wound dry and stop her from being able to lick it.
Wishing Brandy smooth surgery & a quick recovery. Let us know how she does.
