Everytime Brandi has had surgery, it always took her a couple of days to poop.

Woohoo she pooped!! And looks like she's doing much much better!! Thanx for all the positive feedback you guys are great!

Good girl! So glad she is coming around and starting to return to normal. You will probably be plesantly excited by how much better she acts tomorrow and the next day and then before you know it, she will be 6 weeks post-op and you won't believe where the time went and you will be soooo glad it is all long behind you.

I still find it interesting that so many of the spays have to wear those crazy collar things. I was told not to bother because most of the time they don't bother the incision and just to get one if she did. I never saw her pay it any attention. I suppose if there are stitches she could pull on it would be good to have, but Maggie's were tight and close. The collar probably causes MORE anxiety. I don't think a little licking hurts it...but a lot would or pulling on a loose stitch.

Maggie did so well it made me wonder why I had worried so much about getting it done.

We never had to do the collar thing either. It is amazing how quickly they recover from the surgery. Best wishes.

Jilly only tried once or twice to sniff at her incision and as I was there with her, I just told her "no" and she stopped, so we needed no collar. Same with Tibbe and his neuter - just told him "no" if he seemed interested in it. As far as Jilly's neuter, I had her surgery done on Thursday, she stayed in the hospital that night and I picked her up Friday after work so I had that night and that weekend to watch her and keep her from her incision, which was pretty tiny and I think was glued closed. I don't recall stitches. By the following Monday, she wasn't even apparently noticing it and appeared to be back to most of her normal activities. Tibbe only gave his incision a sniff and that seemed to be that so am so glad he didn't have a collar either.

Just tried taking the colar off for a few minutes and the first thing she did was stick her in to scratch! Guess its staying on! Little stinker!

That's a sign that it is healing.
