Sluggish and not wanting to eat 4 days after spay... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Just got back after 2 hours at the vet with Sassy. She has lost 2 pounds from not eating

Seems she has had an anesthesia reaction and that combined with the pain medication caused issues. She was badly dehydrated so the gave her subcutaneous fluids, 2 injections for nausea and to stimulate her digestive system, and a full panel of bloodwork which all came back normal. THANK GOODNESS!

I feel so bad for her

They want me to try and feed her in a few hours...hoping she eats something

Glad you took her in. Dehyration is nothing to fool around with.

It took Rio almost 2 weeks to bounce back to her normal self after getting spayed. After Bullet was neutered, he was jumping around that same evening!

I am so glad you took her to the Vet. This could have took a turn for the very worst. Hope that Sassy continues to improve! HUGS to you both!

Thank yall so much!

Sassy is currently laying on my lap. She ate about a 1/4 can of food this evening so that is a good start. I am still having a hard time getting her interested in water. She had Subcutaneous IV fluids today and wet food....I have been using a syringe from the vet to give extra water.

Is there any way to get her more interested in drinking?

If she got subcutaneous fluids, she may not be thirsty. Rio had subQ fluids a couple of times (she had pancreatitis last year) and the subQ fluids were enough fluid for her until she felt better and she eventually drank on her own.
