How wonderful for you and for your new little LadyBug to have found one another! Insofar as post-op, your vet should provide you with thorough verbal and written instructions, as well as a 24 hr emergency contact. In addition, your little girl will let you know how she's feeling and what she wants. In Piper's case, she mainly wanted to sleep (best thing for her) and I offered her bites of chicken which sometimes she accepted, other times not. And of course, have fresh water available. Again, if you have any questions or concerns in the days after bringing her home from surgery, call your veterinarian without hesitation; either your doctor or the assistants will be happy to answer any questions and/or clarify instructions! It'll be fine, but I get it because I paced and couldn't take a deep breath until I got the call saying Pipe was out of surgery and doing well...nerves are understandable, but trust your vet. |
