Hollies Spay

Well i took our baby girl in for her spay and microchip to be done this morning, she really did not want to go through the door bless her was worrying all day but went in around 3:00pm and said she was good as gold , she is home and very sleepy with that horrible cone thing round her head ,has not eaten as she was sick a while ago , but apparently that's normal after a aesthetic, bless my girl xxx

Very normal indeed. She'll be right as rain in no time

Get well soon Hollie

Aww, poor Hollie. She'll be feeling a bit sorry for herself for a day - then the fun will start trying to keep her quiet!

Bless her, she'll be fine Xx

You could have the cone off, whilst she is still groggy and your there she can't/won't touch them, and then see how she goes, Moo never needed hers

Awww bless her! She'll be right as rain in no time

Ohh poor girl ><

A bit worried this morning as she is not eating or drinking ,could she still be a bit subdued?

Yea it is very common, it takes them a day or so to get back into the swing of things. I had my last dog spayed and for a day or so after I thought she was broken lol, but after a bit of a break so was back to her normal self.

When Logan has been sick I've found the best way to keep him drinking is provide small amounts of cold fresh water at regular times.

awww poor little girl.

Have your tried with chicken and rice? am sure she will feel like us when we have been put to sleep for something i know i was off for a few days. as matt said plenty of water and just make her comfy

The last anesthetic Moo had it took about 48 hours to get over, she'll be ok ><

Murphy wouldnt settle at all with his cone on, and because ive only got a small house he kept getting stuck in between sofas etc (hard not to laugh at the time...)

So instead I removed the collar.

He settled but immediately went awol when cone went back on so I booked 3 days off work and stayed up for the whole time to make sure he didnt nibble at it.

Ahhh poor Holly, I'm sure she will be fine, try to get her to lick an ice cube if she will, that way she will have a little bit of a drink at least.

Just thought i'd let you know Hollie started eating when i went out to work( son texted me) and now drinking too, trying to get up on the sofa to bless her and is getting lots of cuddles from daddy , thanks for all replies has been nice that people have been through it with their dogs x

Glad to hear she's on the mend quick.

I must add, she's a total beaut in your avatar

Tilly never had one either , in all honesty she just can't reach down there and normally lets Tommy do it for her

She could reach there but soon learnt not too Xx

Well just a update on Hollie, she had to go back to the vets yesterday for them to check the stitches, but also we mentioned she is off her food not drinking much and keeps going for a wee and spending ages outside (this started sunday late afternoon) vet said she could have cystitis from being spayed (yeah thanks for telling us that!!!) He gave her a pain relief injection and a antibiotic injection and wants to see her later today , well she perked up yesterday ate more and drunk more nut she has a slight browish discharge (sorry) but the vet did not seem bothered by this????

Hope she makes a speedy recovery ><

She'll be fine, if the vets happy then don't worry too much. Good luck later and do let us know ><

Bless hope she feels better soon ><

Wishing her a speedy recovery

Right we are back from the vets as a precaution has given her antibiotic tablets and pain relief , the brown discharge he thinks as she was just coming into season the day she went for her spay (i was told by previous owners she would not be in season for another 2-3 months ). but is nearly back to her old soppy self

Thats good news, I would have thought the vet would have noticed her coming into season, Moo's was cancelled because she did the day of her op.

I hope she has a speedy recovery now ><
