Expect her to be pretty out of it. Use the meds to manage the pain. I like onesies, but some dogs don't even bother with the stitches/incision.
They bounce back pretty fast.
Dinky only needed pain meds for a couple days. The cock gave us a collar and told us not to unseal the package unless we had to use it. We didn't, and he let us return it.
I do remember he was whimpering the first night, and my DH figured he wasn't in pain because Dinky was pretty "doped up.' So DH mushed up a small amount of food. Dinky lapped it up, sighed, and then went straight to sleep.
By now, she's probably home, and you are feeling relief!
