For anyone who is getting their baby spayed...new idea
 

SO everyone Brandy is doing well from being spayed last week tue. She was such a fighter and did so well. She didn't protest to rest and played when I let her get exercise.. the only thing was she didn't want to wear the onesie I got her and if she did she pooped in it and got really shy about it.. So I was at the end of the road with ideas and had to leave the e cone on which made me sad some days and laugh others.. The other day I went shopping for my boy at a place called cookies here in NY...and I went to the baby section only because I'm thinking of having another soon... SO you ask what did I find right? well I found something called belly binder by Luvable friends.. you guys must be whats that..well I used it for my son when he can home for the hospital it's a piece of cotton that is really soft with strings and you tie it across your babies belly button.. So I bought a two pack for $1.99 came home hand washed it and put it to dry. Called my Brandy girl over for scratchies and ties it to her belly.. turned her over and it covered the whole cut perfect and she wasn't itchy and she didn't bother it.. so i took off the cone and she was so free and loving it.. I put the cone on for bed and left her with it just to see if she'll take it off and she didn't.. So this morning I took it off and checked the area and the pinkness was gone and she was happy.. So if anyone wants to try something new try belly binders for babies.. they come in all colors.. and if you can't find them i could so help get them to your little only...:)

oh so good to know, my harry is feeling better today, he is wanting to do more today.. so I know is going to be a LONG, week...

Miss Brandy hates staying in so I thought I would suprise her with a nice walk today... only thing was IT'S FREEZING OUT...lol we froze our butts off

They told me not to bother with a cone unless she bothered her incision. She slept the whole first day and by the end of the second she was ready to run and play. Never paid her incision any mind. It was like she never had it done! We did try to restrict her running and jumping. The whole thing went so easily I was amazed!

Your idea about the belly binder is a good one though. Never heard of that.

WOW I wished Brandy left her's alone she was look at it and smelled it once I took that cone off.. I think she noticed because they shaved almost all her belly hair which I was not happey about... I used the belly binding on my son and I thought why not give it a try.. Miss Brandy is way better now but the shaven areas are a little itchy for her so I still have to keep it covered till tue..out vet visit.. as for playing I could not get her to stop even droggy she wanted to because she loves my boy so much.. he got to cuddle with her that day.. she loved it..but she didn't jump much till last might.. she has discoved that jumping on the couch gets her a chase from my son.. she's such a kidder..lol

Loved reading this, Prissy will be spayed soon and I need all of the information that I can get..So glad that your baby is healing well...

Princess did not do so well after her spay. She had to have pain killers for two days after and now my friend tells me she will not leave the stiches alone so I told her to try the onzies but now I will tell her about this. Thank you

Seems weird, but my girl had more problems dealing with her one year old shots than she did her spay! She seemed to be in pain after her shots and I ended up actually giving her half a baby aspirin after calling the vet.

Maybe because she was a little bigger, probably about 7.5 pounds. She was 9 months old. Now she is 9.5 pounds.

I like the onesie Idea but Brandy hates the snaps and poops in them..lol so I tried this and the material was so soft and she liked it.. it takes a few mins for them to understand what it is then they just go on..lol she likes it that she wants to leave it on..sometimes the pain come from the reaction of the stiches.. I was reading that online.. I got this belly binder in white in case their was any bleeding I missed or discharge.. I hope everything goes well with your baby good luck..

thsi worked wonders for me because it got it in white and it was breathable cotton.. I mean baby stuff is great.. plus like isaid I got it in white like I did for my son just to make sure their is no blood or discharge..I started it two three days after when enough air dryed it good.. the key is too keep the air flowing.. and when she went to bed I took it off and put back on the cone for safty purpose..but today i took her out for her walk like normal I banded her belly and we came back clean ready for PJ's and morning nap.. my funny girl.. she's now getting into routine with walks and she grabs her pjs alone..loland pushes her head in like woman I'm cold hurry up change me..lolall I need now is for her to ask me for coffee..lol
