Tish getting spayed Hi everyone....I have Tish booked in to get spayed Oct.25 and I am so worried about her condition after. Any advice on how to take care of her after she comes home form the hospital? thanks |
I am sorry as I don't have much advise but I am sure your vet will give you much needed info. How old is Tish again? I know how much you are concerned and we all here will be thinking of Tish. Give us a full update on Oct. 25th. Thanks! |
Just give her a lot of love and attention when she wants it. She'll likely sleep a lot as the procedure can take a toll on their little bodies. |
Tish will be just over 7 months when she gets spayed. I was just wondering on how you stop an active dog from not jumping and how to avoid her from licking her wound. :( |
My mother-in-law's dog absolutely refused to stop licking a wound of his, and she had to get one of those plastic frisbee collars so that he couldn't get to it anymore - i hope you don't have to do anything like that.....i felt so bad. :( Good luck with everything!!!!!!! :rolleyes: In our thoughts! |
Sorry I don't have any advice for you but I hope Tish comes through it with flying colors. angie |
Maddie was 6 months old when she was spay. I brought her home that night and she slept most of the night. By the next day she was back to normal. If I would have had Rudy I would have left her at the vet that night, because he would have wanted to play. Rudy was neutered a couple of weeks a go and I brought him home that night and he slept and ate a little and by the next day he was fine. They are tuff little furbabies. I was lucky niether one of mine licked there wounds. Talk to the vet about her baby teeth so if she has any to be pulled he can do it at the same time. Maddie had 3 baby teeth pulled and Rudy was 10 months and had lost all of his, because of his age and he was always pulling toys with Maddie. Let us know when the day comes and I will say a little prayer for her....................Cindy |
I think that Ana said that she bought her yorkie some kind of little clothes so wear so that they wouldn't lick and it worked really well. She will be tired, and want to take it easy until she feels better. Misha had hers (she's not a yorkie) at about 6 months and she did really well and felt almost completely better the next day. Good luck, and I will be praying for her. Let us know how it all goes. |
yizzl ... my Toto was spayed at about 8 months and she did better than I did!! :) I was a wreck ... she did great!! We brought her home and she just wanted to be held, she was sooo sleepy. I hardly put her down for two days ... she never did pay any attention to her incision!! I just held her and encouraged her to drink plenty of water! Dr. Lucy said to make sure she didn't jump up or down off anything. I made sure she had plenty of pillows in front of anything she might decide to jump on and she did fine!! I feel certain that Tish will be a great little "patient" ... the only danger I can think of would be the anesthesia, and I'm sure your vet will be cautious with that. Good luck!! ;) |
Higgins did really well when he was neutered. He spent the night at the vet and was really just normal when we picked him up the next day. They "glued" him together, with dissolving stitches underneath this skin, so he never licked anything. By the way, they put a tiny tattoo on his belly to let anyone know that he had been neutered. Very helpful should he ever wind up lost and in a shelter (OH WHAT AN AWFUL THOUGHT!). I've already said a little prayer for Tish, because I know how worrisome having them under anesthesia is... On surgery day, you just c'mon in here and we'll give ya a big hug to make ya feel better...... Tish will do fine, I'm sure. |
A tattoo! Does it say anything or just a symbol or what is it like Higgin's Mom? I'm just curious about it. Biker chick Yorkies, Yorkies with tattoos, what's next? :P |
It's a tiny dark blue male sign, kinda blurred a bit now. LOVE his tattoo! Before they had microchips, we had our dogs tattooed with my social security number and then that was registered with the National Dog Registry. IT SAVED THEIR LIVES!!! They (2) were stolen from their locked kennel, as were several other pedigreed dogs in the general area. 4 of the dogs, all with tattoos, were drugged and dumped at a town dump about 20 miles away from us. A gentleman who drove into the dump stopped someone from shooting them, saying that they looked like good dogs. He called the local dog warden. The warden reunited all of the dogs and owners after contacting the Registry. Eventually, this ring of dog thieves operating in Connecticut and New York, was broken up and prosecuted. The tattoos on my setters were very visible on their bellies, so that is what saved them. Because of that, I have the blue plastic AVID tag that identifies Higgins as a microchipped dog clipped to his harness. I figure that a professional thief would avoid taking a known microchipped dog. |
Heah Fasteddie, Schatzie and her Mom are biker chicks, LOL :p and only one of us has that tatoo, ha ha...However, when it comes time to Schatzie being spayed I will ask my vet about a tatoo and microchip. I cannot imagine her being taken. I once had two Siberian Huskys stolen. They were NOT chipped, one spayed the other not neauterd as too young. The sherrif informed us that the dogs were taken most likely into the state of MO for tests. Broke my heart, didn't sleep forever and wanted to vomit everytime I had a bad visual about what they might be doing to my beloved dogs. That is when I researched "smaller" breeds. Ones who are inside the house with me at all times. Even though this does not secure them 100%. So, Fasteddie, soon those biker chick pictures will be posted. hahhahahaha :p |
Heheh, biker chicks are babes! Biker chick Yorkies too! Just amazing the variety of Yorkie owners we see here. :) |
Thank you all for your prayers and concerns. After reading this I feel alot better already. Tish still has a baby canine tooth with her adult tooth beside it, so I guess she will be getting some mouth work down also. (DARN). I am also going to get her microchiped while she is under. I was not sure if I was going to take her home the same day or leave her there over night. I guess it sounds like it is a better idea to leave her stay over night. I booked a week off work to stay home with her while she recovers. Am I over doing it or what!!! :confused: I bought her a baby outfit to try on so she would not get to her stitches and all she did was run around in a circle pulling at it. I have put clothes on her before but never a whole one piece. Thanks again everyone for your help...I will keep you all posted |
Tish should be okay and follow what the vet says and give her lots of love and attention. |
Tish is going in tomorrow to be spayed Now I am getting worried! I have to bring her in and they wanted to keep her over night. Then I find out that there is no there after 10pm till the next morning. I told them I was going to take her home the same day. AM I WRONG in doing this???How can they watch her if no one is there? |
I would still leave her. They will check on her just before leaving. Chances are that she will be very groggy from the anesthesia and will sleep right through the night. Then they can give her a thorough check first thing in the morning. I understand how you feel......it's hard.....they are sooooo little...... |
It is hard to have to leave them over night. Some vet's don't let you bring them home. I brought my two home, neither like to be in a kennel so I was scared they would wake up and freak out. Just talk to the vet when you drop her off, tell the vet how you feel about leaving her. If there is no other dog at home that will want to play with her, I think it is better to have them at home where they know you are there. We all know how yorkies are velcro dogs. She will be fine and back to normal before you know it, but she is your baby and you will worry. You and Tish are in my prayers. Please let us know when she out of surgery....................Cindy |
Tish will be fine, it's you we worry about lol! I was awful when Gypsy Rose was spayed and she was unwell for the 1st 24 hours I must admit but then all of a sudden she was ready for her walk and was fine. I felt such a sense of relief that it ws all over and knew I'd done the right thing (have to go through this with Gizzie yet!!). Gypsy also had baby teeth (5 in her case!) and I had her microchipped too - a great idea plus we had to as our girls will go over to Spain to live as we have a place over there. However, they do not do a tag to put on the coller here - that sounds a great idea! Yes, I put onesies (babygros) on Gyps but I never did them up underneath, just cut them but they were still long enough to prevent her getting her stitches. You may find Tish doesn't try to anyway. Let us know how she is and whether you leave her overnight or not - we'll be here!! Love, Ana xx |
I agree with fasteddie lots of love and attention. Charlie did very well with his I had him fixed and four baby teeth pulled. lol |
well I decided to leave her there over night. She was shaking like a leaf when I left. I feel so guilty leaving her alone. :( . They called and said she was doing fine. I went out and bought her some new toys and chew bones. I also cleaned her play pen. I miss her so much already. I think I will go and call them now and see how she is doing. |
Glad to hear Tish is doing well. She will be glad to see tomorrow. They are tuff little furbabies and she will be her self before you know it.............Cindy |
Tish is home now I picked her up this morning and yes I am more of a wreck then she is :) . She acts like nothing happened to her. Of course she poo-poo on the carpet but I expected that. I did clean her pen when she was gone and moved her pee pad a few feet. So she is a bit confused on why I did that. They like things staying in one spot. They said not to let her jump! How much is to much for her to jump and run? I have another question to ask you all. When I give Tish a greenie she acts like it is catnip for a cat. She runs around the whole house putting it in places that she cannot get it out. Is she trying to hide it from me? I am so glad to have her back home. I missed her last nite in bed, I barely slept thinking of her all alone in that cage at the vets. I am so glad that it is all over. Thanks everyone for your support........liz and Tish |
Happy to hear Tish doing well! If the docs say not to let her jump, try to not and let her jump anywhere for a while. Yoda flings his Greenies absolutely everywhere and yes, he'll fling it under the couch (where he can't get to) at times. I think he thinks it's a game sometimes, but then when he feels like it, he gets down to business and starts chewing/eating it like a madman. :) |
