We're Home...and I need valium Brandi was spayed today and I finally just got more or less settled.....as soon as we got home and I put her down on my bed she vomited (sigh) the I just sat down and she laid across my chest and fell asleep for at least an hour.....I got up and put her down on the wee wee pad and she used it....and then she took off up the stairs.....and up the doggie stairs onto my bed......the vet said no food tonight but I could give her an ice cube to lick.....but she's refusing that......and she just vomited again.....so I'm thinking it would be best if I leave her alone....the vet didn't give me pain meds only antibiotics.....she whines a little I'm terrified to lift her I'm being extremely careful when I do.....at the moment I'm sorry I did this to her.....realistically I do know it's better for her to be spayed......but I just feel like crying.......:sad::cry::cry::sad: |
I would just leave her alone tonight and I bet she will just fine tomorrow. Good luck. I hope she feels better soon. |
Ahhhh poor mommy! And Brandi....oh it breaks your heart doesn't it? I am guessing the anesthesia is making her sick. Hopefully she wont show signs of pain and need pain meds...I don't think I used the meds for my girls but I did have them. Hopefully you will see an improvement tomorrow. All mine did was lay in one spot and sleep too :( I have to go through this within a month myself....I'm dreading it... |
this has to be one of the worst experiences in my life...she"s just laying across my chest sleeping... |
If she is not perkier tomorrow, I would call the vet and ask for some pain meds. Gracie stayed at the vet overnight after her spay. So all the anesthesia side effects were behind her. She arrived home acting like nothing ever happened. I did give her the pain meds even though she did not act like she was in pain. It was impossible to keep her still! Hope your baby is feeling better. You did the right thing. |
Poor baby. She should feel better tomorrow. Is she throwing up because her tummy is empty? I know when Cali was spayed I was going to pick her up the next evening and the vet called and said she threw up her food and they wanted to watch her overnight. Next day she was ok. |
Poor thing! She should feel better tomorrow. When you do feed her, I'd go with something light like boiled rice and chicken. Probably the anesthesia. I feel for you both!:( |
I'm gonna guess her tummy is empty she hasn't eaten since last night...I had to take away her food at midnight.....but the vet told me not to feed her tonight.....she doesn't seem to really want to eat....and she was vomiting bile...I do hope she perks up tomorrow or I will be making a visit to the vet |
You could give her a bit of nutrical or put some sugar in her water and see if that perks her up any. I don't think a bit of yogurt would do her any harm. I don't understand why she can't eat tonight. When Gracie had her spay, the vet said they would feed her late that same evening. She was also eating when I picked her up the next day. |
I think I will give her a bit of Nutra-cal....but she didn't even wanna look at the ice cube I gave her.....she really doesn't seem to want to eat or drink.... |
aww poor thing.. they are just so pathetic aren't they?? but i bet you are glad to have her home instead of having her stay over night! she will be perkier tomorrow... see what you can tempt her with as far as food goes.. i hope you get some sleep tonight.. with layla i was wide awake just waiting to hear from her.. she didn't have meds etiher and was fine! glad things went well! |
Poor, sweet baby. And poor you! It is so difficult. I felt the same way when I took my Sassy in and sfter we came home. It will get better soon, but I know that doesn't help now. |
It was so stressful for me too, but what it really help was the pain meds (I think) so if you can ask your vet for some:xfingers:, i feelt bad too, but now you can even tell she was spayed, hang there brandi-mommy, this too shall pass:aimeeyork |
She perked up for about one brief second around 2am when my son got home.....she even wagged her tail and kissed him.....he held an ice cube and she licked it till most of it was gone........and she had a lick (about the size of a small pea) of NutraCal......she's not eating anything....and I got a minimal amount of water into her.....via her licking it off my finger....or she'd lick it off the syringe.....but she wouldn't drink from her bowl.....I put down some dry food just a few pieces so I'd know if she ate.....and I tried cottage cheese on my finger....she wanted no part of it.....I'll see what else I can try to give her......she NEEDS to eat.....we're going on day two......she's also making this noise when she breathes.....I can't even describe the noise.....it's not a snore....it's not a wheeze....I'm just a wreck......and I think I will be making an unannounced visit to the vet this morning......I hope she's ok or I will never forgive myself for doing this :sad::sad::sad::sad::sad: |
I think a vet visit is a good idea. No matter the outcome, you will feel better for having taken her. Do not feel guilty. You did the right thing. How would you feel if you did not have her spade and as a result she ended up with mammary cancer? Whatever is going on with her is probably no where near as horrific as mammary cancer. Let us know how the vet visit goes. Feel better soon little Brandi girl! |
I know Venus was really pitiful that first day, but was much better the 2ond and 3rd day she was back to her normal self, except with jumping on the sofa. They aren't supposed to climb steps or jump for like a week. Venus was back up on the sofa after about 5 days. I certainly don't remember any problems with her breathing though after her spay. For that, I think your doing the right thing in taking your baby in for checkup. Venus slept a lot, and didn't eat or drink much at all that first night (per vets orders). It can really tear us up to see them looking so pitiful that first night or 2. Thats why my vet will keep them overnight, unless you insist on taking them home. |
I think you should definately take her back to the vet if she isn't wanting to take food by now & her breathing sounds odd. While you're there ask him about afercare of the wound. Usually they advise you to gently bathe the wound daily with water that's been boiled & cooled with a little salt added to keep it clean & prevent infection. |
Sure hope she's feeling herself real soon. I know it's tough but try not to worry too much. |
Poor baby:( I think taking her back to the vet is an excellent idea. I wonder why they say no food for these babies, they are WAY too small to be fasting for that long. :confused: It sounds like she was extremely hungry to me, if it was the bile coming up:( I hope and pray she's all better fast! |
Brandi has perked up considerably in the past hour or so.....I called the vet......he said not to worry that much about the eating right now....just make sure she gets some nutra-cal in her.....even if I have to put my finger in her mouth and wipe it on her pallate....I told him about the breathing noises and he said it's probably due to the tube that was down her throat :-( .....I know she's feeling better because she ran away from me before and ran down the stairs :-( the vet said he will be in tomorrow if I'm still feeling something isn't right......but he suspects in the next few hours she will definitely pick up....her breathing is MUCH quieter now THANK GOD!!!!! |
I am so glad to hear she is perking up, yay!:cheer: |
I'm seeing more and more improvement she FINALLY ATE!!!!!!!!!!! and she's walking around and then resting in her bed......and it looks like she's resting comfortably.....I feel so much better...I think she hates me though:cry2:......and my son keeps telling me she hates me now and will hate me the rest of her life:cry2::cry2:.....she's giving him kisses and when I approach her she just runs away:cry2: honestly for now as long as she's starting to feel better I'll deal with her not liking me and hope she forgets soon |
I so know how you feel, as when my Pippa was spayed she too was like this and i bawled for hours!!! I was so scared and was blaming myself for everything and i vowed never to have any more animals (at the time). But your baby will get better day by day and it is the best thing for her in the long run. |
My Vet told me to give her a little honey. Good luck. I have to get Miss Tricksie spayed this month. Not looking forward to it. |
As bad as she feels, at least she's at home with her Mommy and not alone in a cage at the vet's office. Generally if someone (canine or human) is nauseated and/or vomiting, you shouldn't try to have them eat - ice and a little bit of water will be fine as long as she's not showing signs of hypoglycemia. You said you gave her a little Nutrical though, so I wouldn't worry about it. |
She's almost all the way back to her old self tonight.......SHE'S EATING!!!......she's not much of a drinker to begin with but I'm trying to encourage her to drink.......I had her out for a little while.....(in my arms of course) and her breathing seems a lot better....I can see one of her stitches popped.....if it becomes a problem I'll take her to the vet tomorrow.....(though I'd like to keep her away from there)now if she'd just give me kisses like she does with everyone else I'll be happy.....but I'm patient |
I sure hope everything is better now ... Friday is only 3 months old but I know I am going to have to have this done by 6 months ... I do not remember having a problem with Monday but she did stay at the hospital overnight .... I had a dog sitter stay with her ... I was so nervous .... the only thing I remember was that the vet gave her canned food and I had a heck of a time getting her back on dry food (like for 2 years) .... |
I do know having her spayed was the right thing to do....and both of my kids were against it.....but as I said to my vet yesterday when I took her in.....I'd much rather take her in as a healthy dog to be spayed.....than bring her in with mammary tumors that might be cancerous.....I know a lot of my feelings last night regarding Brandi also came from inexperience and I was freaking out.......and exhausted after just having had my own business taken care of on Wednesday......I'm just glad she's feeling better........she's still sleeping but maybe she needs to really get it out of her system |

I have felt badly by the way she's acting towards me.....my son didn't want me to have her spayed....AND he's trying to convince me that we need a bulldog now and I keep saying no.....(he got Brandi for me too) but I feel bad enough and it's just like he's rubbing salt in my wound..... |
