Also you might fix her chicken and rice to eat |
I am going to take her off the pain med first and see if she eats then. If not then I will make her some food to get her going again. |
i found that my dogs didnt need the pain meds after the first day or two. plus i think they tend to try to do to much because they dont feel it. |
Suggestion: If she is shaking or crying, then she needs her pain medication to reduce the swelling. Call your vet if you are not satisfied or still have questions. Warmly, Deborah |
She has never cryed or made a fus about it. I talked to the vet this morning and she said just keep her on it for a couple more days. I guess it is really just asprin for dogs and not a pain med. I guess I will wait see how she is doing in the next couple of days. |
Each pup is different following surgery. When Angel was spayed a few months ago, we needed to keep her on the pain meds to keep her activity levels down. She ended up with an infection and a red, angry/oozing incision. Because of all of that, we had no choice but to use the cone as it kept her much more still. She ended up being on pain meds, antibiotics and the cone for 10 days till she was better and then the stitches came out finally!! |
I had them do the laser procedure so the healing time is suppose to be better. It has been 3 days and the incision looks great. I check it every day just to make sure things are good. I see what you are saying about keeping them on the pain med it does keep them calm. She has been getting a ton of sleep in the last few days. |
I bought some onesie's but I am not sure how they are suppose to work. There is no way for her to go to the bathroom. So do I have to cut a hole or leave that end open or something? I know a few of you have done this before so I am open for ideas. |
I didn't have to put the cone on Venus, cause she didn't lick the sutures. But Adonis did lick, and his got mild infection, and I HAD to put the cone on him....oh he hated it too! Would not move, and shook too. If they put the sutures in that dissolve on thier own, licking them can make them dissolve before they are healed, is what I was told. My vet didn't send pain meds home with me. After that 2ond day, both were acting like nothing ever happened. |
Rimadyl is anti-inflammatory and helps with the relief of the swelling in the tissues from the surgery. Good luck. PS Glad to hear your vet advised to keep her on the meds. She shouldn't be suffering. There is also a cone that is made of plastic fabric that is very nice, although they will get used to the cone if it is fitted properly. |
she seems to be doing okay with the cone she just limits her movement. She doesn't whine or shake when she has it on. She will just lay there and do nothing. I just would like to do something different so that she can be a little more comfortable. |
