Knots in my belly
 

In one more hour I take Isabella to get spayed and have teeth extracted...WOW, I am so scared....I've read that having teeth pulled while being spayed is pretty common, but how is the recovery? Aww, I feel so sad for her. I'm already tearing up just thinking about leaving her.:cry:, and then this morning as soon as she woke up, she ran in the kitchen looking for her food, it was so pathetic, my poor little girl. If anyone can just give me some tips on recovery with the spay and the teeth, I would so appreciate it. Thanks...

Sending prayers to you and your little Isabella this morning. I hope she has a successfull surgery and speedy recovery. I remember how hard it was when Jada and Bogie had their spay and neuter and I hope today goes by fast for you. It is so pitiful when you can't let them have their morning meal.

Sending prayers to you and Isabella. Normally they recover so quickly, it is actually unbelievable and she will be her old self.

Isabella's Mommy,

A few years ago I came here asking for Prayers for my little girl for the same surgery. She had her teeth removed due to decay and also spayed. She recovered wonderfully. We feed her Royal Canin for Yorkies, so it was already small and she adapted real well. Plus, her other foods she gets cut up small anyway.

Her mouth will be tender, but your baby will do just fine!

When Bridget was spayed she had 9 baby teeth removed. I was so impressed at how quickly she seemed to recover. When I brought her home she of course was starving - so I gave her small amounts of "wet" food thinking her mouth would be sore. Well she walked right over and started eating the cats hard food. She did have a full set of adult teeth on top already in so that may make a difference. She was chewing on her chew toys immediately. She really never missed a beat.
Good luck - I know how nerve wrecking it can be - but she'll be fine...she'll pull through this better than you!
Sending prayers your way for her speedy recovery - she'll be back to her norm in no time - and the hard part will be trying to keep her calm for the next few days.
Let us know when you get the long awaited good news that she is out of surgery and doing great!

Hugs and prayers to you and Isabella. I know it's hard but try not to worry they do bounce back quickly.

Sending you Prayers.:hands: Let us know when she is out of surgery.

It is pretty amazing how quickly they do recover from a spay. She will most likely be a little groggy from the surgery for a day or two and you shouldn't allow her to jump around too much. As for those teeth I didn't see any difference in the way they ate after or indication they had a soar mouth.

Prayer going out to both you and Isabella this morning. :hug:

Oh My Gosh, thank you so much, you're all so wonderful!!!! The Vet just called to say her pre-op blood work was all normal, so thay are going ahead with the surgery, I have to call at 12:30 and they will let me know how it all went. While I was dropping her off a 6 month old pitbull mix came in to get spayed as well, her mommy didn't even shed a tear, me on the other hand shed several.. Thanks again for all your support everyone and I'll post as soon as my baby gets home.....

Praying for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery! Spay day is such an emotional day even for those who have multiple furbutts and "know the drill" the day is still traumatizing, your feelings are normal. The recovery is very quick and you probably will not even recognize that she had teeth removed. Keep us posted and hugs to you and Isabelle!!

That's what we feed Isabella, they told me to just add warm water to make it soft for her and to not change her food...Thanks Matthias..:)

Praying for a safe recovery for your little one. All of these babies are different. I have or have had 7 yorkies. All but one of them did so very well after any surgery (spay, bladder stones, eyes removed and teeth extraction and cleanings). I just couldn't believe how fast these little guys recouperated. Then there was Elsy - she was just spayed 1 1/2 weeks ago. She came home the same day and it was terrible for her. She would lie down but then get right back up because she was hurting. She whined for about 24 hours. She had not eaten since 6:30 the night before her surgery and after 43 hours had gone buy and she still had not eaten (I gave her nutracal and fluids through a syringe though) I took her in to the vet. They ended up given her another pain shot and sub-q fluids and sending her home. They gave me fluids so I could give them sub-q if she needed them since it was the Memorial Day holiday but by nighttime she was so much better. She ate alittle and drank on her own. She is still not eating as well as I would like but she is eating and drinking. The vet told me that each dog is different and some cannot handle pain as well as others. This is the first time that I have ever had a problem like this after surgery.

Oh No, was the pain from her spaying or teeth or both? That would just break my heart if I heard her crying like that.. So, a week and a half out your baby is still not eating well? Oh boy this scares me.. Well I sure hope she starts to feel better soon. Thanks for your input.....and BIG HUGS to you both....

Just called the Vet. She's all done and doing well, already awake and sitting up, had to pull just the 4 teeth in the front. I am picking her up at 2pm. I can't wait to see her and smooch her. Thanks so much for all of your prayers and kind words..
