Having beau spayed

So the time has come for beau t be spayed she's booked in for next Thursday just not looking forward to it she's just been poorly with her ears but took her to the vets Wednesday and she fine know but I'm I'm so scared any of you guys gone through this let me know the ins and outs please me and my family have never been through this advice needed thanks x.

Mark dnt worry the day before shes spayed they will tell u to completely starve her i didnt feed mia after 5 oclock on the day they will tell u to drop her off at 9am or earlier and the op and recovery time is 3.30pm they will get you to sign a consent form before beau goes in. When she comes out id advise a low car to take her home and no stairs if at all possible she may be groggy and out of sorts for 2 days and her walks for 2 weeks until she gets her stitches out should be on lead and easy . I prepared chicken for mia but she opted for dog food instead on the day shes had the op she might not eat anything just drink . The hardest part will be keeping her quiet and stopping her jumping on the couch .

I agree with Crystal. Theia thought she was back to normal the next day. Short on lead walks, no jumping up, no stairs and no excitement is the key. Theia didn't even look at her stitches and I've heard about a few that didn't bother either. She'll be fine.

Just the second week some staffs might struggle with itching of stitches

She'll be fine honest - its us mums and dads that suffer for them. She bounce back within a couple of days x The vet should give you some stuff to spray or dab on the stitches that tastes horrid.

Oh is there jenny thats fab would save dogs wearing the cone of shame

All good advice above Mark. It's a pretty straight forward op these days so shouldn't be a problem and Beau will bounce back reall quickly I'm sure.

Have a look at the Comfy Collar instead of the cone of shame. So much less intrusive and better for your furniture too!

And Beau will be fine. You'll feel worse about it than she does!

She will be absoutely fine. Misty went in not too long ago-I was in tears saying goodbye but I had nothing to worry about. We picked her up at 3pm- she was still half out of it- a completly differnent little girl to normal. We took her to my mums house as its nearer the vets and we slept downstairs with her for over a week. She was very groggy and fought going to sleep until about 5pm. She woke up for dinner - plain chicken. Went back to sleep and then at 2am the next morning she was running about like nothing happened. She was trying to jump on us for kisses and just being her usual self. She was very good with her stictches- she never even tried to lick them. Like Crystal said the hardest thing is trying to calm her down and keep her quiet! She just wanted to run around like normal. We couldnt belive she had an op less than 24 hours ago. Beau will be back to normal in no time at all.
