My Maltese was spayed a week and a half ago. He gave her a shot of Rimadyl, which is supposed to help with pain for 24 hours. She has not really had any pain to speak of, except for the first night, which was minor. She was not her playful self for about four days, which was hard because Surfie didn’t understand and wanted to play. She will be fine, just be careful not to pick her up wrong, I did once, and she let me know. :-( If you’re not planning on breeding, you did exactly the right thing in my opinion. The hardest part right now is not being able to bathe her, she misses her bath. Don’t hesitate to ask with any questions, just in case you freak like I did, some slight bleeding is normal from her stitches, and slight swelling. Just like in a human.
