Thank you all for getting me through this I could NOT have done it without you all!!! |
So glad to hear she's home! Sounds like she's doing well, and that she's happy to be home! I'm so glad you got her spayed when you did-your poor puppy might have gotten sick!
Great timing!
Keep in mind that she'll be groggy for awhile, and then all of the sudden, she'll be hyper again. That's the time you'll want to keep her busy with chewing toys/treats so that she's not tearing around the house and jumping on and off furniture.
Keep those onesies on her for 7-10 days (my vet said), and just unsnap them when she needs to go potty. That will keep her from chewing or licking at her stitches. Even if she accidentally pees through one, they're really easy to wash. We ended up using them as pajamas later too!
Also, many people have had questions and concerns surrounding their little girls having accidents out of the blue after being spayed. It seems common, and she may have them for about a week after the spay. Don't worry too much, and don't be too hard on her. Just keep a pad (if you use them) in the same room with her, or take her outside potty more frequently to prevent accidents during this time. Emma had them for about 7 days, and then stopped. I think it's due to all the muscles down there being moved around during the surgery, and they can't feel that they need to go until it's too late-but that's just my own theory.
Good luck and best wishes for a fast recovery!
