Mee-Kah Update!!

[Micksbabyboo]

Okay so i got her spayed on Saturday, when i picked up my little baby looked like a little rat, shaking and with all her hair in her mouth wet BUT CUTE!, i got her home and started giving her liquids about 2 hours after. I started with 1 CC of water at a time. She did not feel like eating all Saturday.

Sunday morning i gave her two little tiny hot dogs that we eat but she LOVES, she ate them like a crazy hungry babe!, by night time she was already eating her solid foods and drinking water. She is under Amoxixilin twice a day, ive been playing with the time so she does not take it on an empty tummy. I left her at home in a small guest bathroom with her E-cone one. This morning she was alot more herself, happy about everything wanting to jump I had to catch her half way because she wanted to jump up on the bed.

She has 7 stiches which i have been alternating between cleaning and keeping her E-cone off and banding it but very lightly so that it can actually breath BUT so that she cant get to the stiches if she does not have her E-cone one.

On Wendnesday i am getting the Male neutered. I Was going to wait a bit longer but he is extremly crazy whining and barking. and since she was in heat when they spayed her he has continued marking territory etc. I should of done him before but i didnt think about it so i feel kinda crappy because of it but i am working everything out. I am so tired today though because i stayed Saturday and Sunday night with Mee-kah so that i could make sure she was OK i was up all night.

Advice, suggestions or comments are welcomed. I Will post pics of her in a couple of minutes.

Your baby looks so sweet in her bed! I'm so happy for you and Mee-kah that the big day is over and she is recuperating nicely. Best wishes for your boy when he goes in next week.

awww, what a sweetie she is. Hope all goes well with her recovery. She'll be back to her normal self in no time!

Thank you all for your best wishes Mee-kah and I really apprecaited that . I have a question, when i went home today for lunch. I cleaned her stiches and she had a bit of a liquidi substance coming out of the top, im thinking its normal because shes healing but i want to make sure. Its a LITTLE BIT not alot and it seems like what our bodies would usually produce when we are scabing a wound or something.

Is this normal, her stiches dont look fevered of anything. She tried to jump on the bed today too! I had to catch her half way and say noo Mee-kah!.. My poor potatoe! I Love her, i want her to be all better.

I scheduled the male in for Wendsday that way were are done while they are both being "passive" because my male wont stop whining and barking when i try to keep him away from Mee-kah. And when he is near her, then he wont leave her alone :-/ crazy situation! As Mee-kah would say in doggy language "CWAZY".

That should be pretty normal. She's not jumping around when you're not there, is she?

Is it essentially clear (might have a slight yellow tint to it)? That would be a normal reaction to the surgery and stitches.

Hopefully shes being a good girl, i left her in my smallest bathroom wich is only a guest bathroom with her water and food, shes never gotten ontop of the toilet seat that ive seen her. So i am hoping shes good. DH has been home since about 3 taking care of her even though he does not want to admit it lol.

For the most part it is clear, when i cleaned it, it looked like watered down blood, like maybe a bit of blood and a bit of clear fluid mixed. But very little enough to only see on a tip of tissue. Do you think its normal? I am taking my male in to get neutered on Wendsday, if this persist's should i take her in too? To be checked?

Thanks

She'll be ok in there. Infection would be indicated especially by any redness around the area.

That sounds like it's normal serosangiunous drainage. Just be on the look out for anything that looks cloudy or has a green tinge.
