Yes, it is scary but she will be fine. It will be much more difficult for you. I am an old lady and I cried in the vet office. how embarrassing.
Expect her to be very tired after you pick her up. They will direct you about feeding her and giving her fluids. Do what they say. They may give you some pain meds and sedatives for the first couple days (just in case).
After 24 hours she will start to bounce back, then your work starts. Do not allow her to jump on or off of furniture and limit her exercise for 10 days to 2 weeks. Shelby only had internal stiches. I got her one of those onesie things (for infants) so she wouldn't tug or lick her tummy.
Best wishes to both of you tomorrow. |
