Recovery is faster after a Laser spay than a traditional one. Smaller incision.
I prefer the Dermabond on the top. With the external sutures- If you have multiple dogs one of the other dogs could mess with them.
I used baby onsies for mine after their spays when I could not watch them. One of them would even walk in a Donut or Elizabethian collar.
I never leave mine overnight but I am a human nurse myself so post-op. patients are nothing to me.
Mine all get the pain I injection which would work til the next morning. The vet gave me a script for pain pills if I needed them. None of the yorkies never did. My golden did but he is a giant baby! The yorkies were sore the next few days- Roxy my 3.5 girl was back herself by the next morning and wanted to play- She even escaped her playpen 3 foot sides and jumped back in when I saw she was out.
Drop off was 7a but I stayed with them til the vet was going to do the surgery @10a. They were ready to go home by 2-3 in the afternoon.
