Belle is Being Spayed Today

I am so glad she is home and the vet was able to make her feel better. Give her lots of hugs and kisses, and keep us posted on her progress.

I will be having my baby spayed in a couple of months. What can I expect? What about the jello, I have never heard of that?

When we got home last night I put her on the couch and she stayed there until it was bedtime. I offered her water, she didn't want to drink anything, but she'd been on IVfluids all afternoon, so I didn't worry about that. She slept on my pillow all night.

This morning she didn't get up when my other dogs did, she is still very quiet today.... but she is improving. I got her up, she drank some water and ate a tiny bit of food. (she had 6 baby teeth removed so I think her mouth is sore) She went back to bed and is resting again. I have her seperated from my other dogs until she's feeling better. Her incision looks great and she is fine, just tired and I think the pain meds are keeping her quiet, too. She wags her tail and is happy to see me every time I check on her so I'm sure she'll be back to her sweet silly self in no time!

My vet called around 1 to say that he spayed her on his lunch break and that she did well, and was already starting to wake up. He also said that her uterus was enlarged and that he was glad we went ahead with the surgery today. He also removed several retained baby teeth and she will be on antibiotics for a few days while her mouth heals. I can pick her up around 7 and I CAN'T WAIT!

On a side note.... he asked me who her groomer is because she looks so pretty and I was proud to say that I groom her myself

Anyway.... 7 o'clock can't get her soon enough, I've missed my little girl today!!!!

Wow, your vet sounds wonderful; so many people say their vets don't touch the baby teeth unless specifically asked. Then the dog has to go back a few months later. So cute he loved the way she was groomed, he's seen a lot of dogs and you should be very proud. Glad she's safe and resting at home, wishing her a speedy recovery.

Jadenaa I'd like to know what baby jello is too.
