I just want to thank all of you for helping me and Mia make this surgery and the post surgery days much better. Your genuine interest, your kind words and knowledge will be always appreciated.

I took Mia to the vet and the vet found everthing is fine, including her mouth after the extractions.

She's actually eating more now than before the surgery and feels very comfortable wesring her onesie. So I've left her on her.
Again couldn't be happier. I will continue to participate in YT and hopefully will be able to help someone as much as you guys helped me😊

I used Oneises for Mia when she was spayed. Easy - I cut a hole for her tail and that's the only adjustment I made. It was loose enough at snaps, but not too loose so she could get to her incision. When I took her out potty, I'd just unsnap and pull up on her back a little. Never had one problem. I think she actually liked wearing them. It was the winter months and I think she felt comfy and cozy and my goodness, did she ever look adorable.

I'm late to the party, or I would have answered you on your problems with food! Chewie has become a very picky eater, and I have to actually keep her on boiled rice/sweet potatoes/potatoes and bison/hamburger/tilapia and sometimes a hard boiled egg (bison/hamburger boiled) with green beans/pumpkin and broccoli, as she will eat kibble maybe once a week. She has been soooo stubborn that we had to bring her in by ER because she wasn't going to eat, and got herself in a nasty cycle. I wanted to say that I force her to eat her nutri-cal by putting it on the roof of her mouth so she no longer refuses. I worked very hard to put that pound on her, dammit, and I won't let her lose it!!! she's NOW almost four pounds. So, I wish I could have helped at the time. I'm so sorry, I'm glad your little girl recovered. Chewie shows pain by shaking and huffing. she will only whine with me, and it's a big issue. Thankfully I'll be home the week following her upcoming surgery.

I bought the onesies and cut them as recommended here. My Pixie didn't use the cone after her spaying surgery. However, by the 10th day after the surgery, she figured out how to take off the upper part of the onesie. Luckily, it was tight enough around her belly and she didn't get to mess with her stitches.

Thanks for the onesies advice!
