awww, she will be fine!!! I was really worried for Sophia's spay/hernia repair, but it wasn't SO bad! Her surgery was a bit more invasive because she had a hernia repair too, but I'll share my experience! Sophia was SO excited to see us when we picked her up, but you could tell she was out of it/exhausted. You might be shocked when you see the incision, it scared me the first time! I took a picture on my phone (I still have it, haha!), and looked at it everyday and compared to her incision. It definitely was noticeably healing everyday, and now you can barely see a scar. We got home and she just slept almost all of the first day. She did have some water and food. They gave us pain medicine in a syringe to give her. I think 5 days worth? She was exhausted the 2nd day too. By day 3, it became a full time job to make sure she didn't run around like a crazy woman and tear her stitches. Sophia never tried to mess with her stitches, but we had the cone ready just in case (which was good, because Brody was a stinker for his neuter and needed it). You won't be able to bathe Luma for 2 weeks, but I used baby wipes (not on the incision) every day to keep her smelling fresh! Good luck Luma, let me know if you have any more questions!! |
