It's day two for Annabelle--she was spayed yesterday. She was groggy all day yesterday and slept through most of it. We brought her food and water from time to time, which she occasionally took and then went back to sleep.
She wasn't interested in her usual kibble so I gave her a tiny bit of hamburger and scrambled egg--the vet said to feed her less the first day, about half what she would usually eat. At first she refused water so I gave her a little bit of milk, being careful not to let her drink too much of it, because it can sometimes give dogs loose bowels.
Yesterday I took her out twice before she would relieve her bladder, and then the flood gates opened. Same thing this morning. I gave her her pain medication afterwards and about 30 minutes later she was out and is sleeping peacefully beside me now.
Last night she began to show an interest in licking her incision. I'm hoping we don't have to get her an Elizabethan collar. Other than that all is well. |
