She could very well be up and running around like normal the next day! Ruthie was spayed just before Christmas and even though I had been through a neuter with Oscar, I was still sooo worried about her. She was 8mths and about 2.2lbs... She also had 12 teeth pulled... I brought her home that night and the next day she was bouncing around like nothing had happened. She recovered very quickly - absolutely no problems and I'm sure your girl will be just the same!
The only thing I can say, since you're picking her up that night, just be prepared for her to be really lethargic. A lot of people pick their dogs up the day of the surgery and think there's something wrong because the dog is so tired - it's completely normal - AND necessary - lots of rest will help her body heal.
Good luck to your little one! |
