Sophie got spayed last Wednesday. She had 3 teeth pulled and nails clipped. When I picked her up she seemed to be drugged or in pain. Just not herself... I had to stay next to her the entire afternoon and night.
Vet gave 2 doses of pain medications for her to take for 2 days after the surgery but she end up taking just one because she seemed to have recovered in full the next day. The recovery rate for this small yorkie was just amazing.
just a minor trouble...We had to cut around the ecollar because the one the Vet gave was just too big and they had to wrap 2-3 times around with a tape around to secure it. Her head was falling down constantly because of the weight of the ecollar. And she was a very itchy little girl. Everyone in the family was poked by ecollar to give scratch service. Overall the experience was good as she recovered so fast.
She is now chasing the birds and bunny at the backyard. And she runs around the park in full speed. Not sure if this is normal since it's been a week only.
I am glad it is done and over with. Eventhough she recovered fast, putting a dog under general anesthesia seems like an invasive procedure. I just could not believe how sick she looked first day. I hope she does not need to go thru that again.
And her weight seems to be stable for a full month eventhough she has a huge appetite and I still have to separate her food morning, lunch and dinner time(+ many snacks in between
. watermellons & chicken breats & bunny poop in the backyard(we are trying to stop her from eating them). She cannot control the appetite yet. But she kept her weight of 1600 gram/3.5 lbs for a month. So, I think she will soon become an adult dog.
I bought another bag of Royal Canine Puppy food so she can have 1 more month of puppy food(she is now 9 month old).
I just hope that she will learn to control the appetite soon. I tried giving her the two meals portion in the morning to see if she will eat half way and stop but no... she finished it in like 5 seconds and asked for more...
Other than that, she is just being the tiny terror Sophie and rules the house.
