Doc, you are probably at your vet or on your way home, I never remember which way the time differences go.

As others have said, don't get too stressed out, and I know you will mention to the vet all her symptoms. I also would mention what the receptionist said to you on the way out last time you picked her up from surgery. If you forget just give them a ring back and ask the vet to call you.

There is something called spay incontinence, but is more frequent in very young spayed females - juvenile puppies under 3months old. It does happen in older females too, just not as often. Right now it is way too early to tell if your pup has this.

I have some knowledge of the European mind-set around s/n, but still in England I thought there was a continued push to s/n, as opposed to other European, Asian etc countries.

It is truly for the average pet owner to, more easily care for a spayed female. In all likelihood she will recover very well, and lead a happy life with you and your wife. Before you know it she will be able to chase balls, and splash in the water.

Good luck today at the vets!
