My 3 1/2 year old Yorkie had surgery 4 days ago. She is normally very active and wild, I understand this was a major surgery and that’s why she isn’t quite herself. But every time I feed her or give her meds her body shakes for a good 30 minutes, has this been normal for other yorkies that have had this surgery? I watch her sleep and her little body just twitches, Ive called my vet with my concerns and the answer I got is “oh its probably normal”. My baby is picky and has been very sick so all my vet and i could get her to eat is Gerber chicken and apples, the surgeon told me to continue with that. I really need advice from those whom have been through this with their babies. I’m very worried about her. The vet also has her on tramadol, she hates it and every time i give her a dose it kills me to see how it effects her. She drools, sleeps and spits.
