ok so lola got spayed yesterday and she was a bit sick and she didn't want to eat. today she feels better but still doesn't want to eat. is it normal after the surgery? how long until shes ready to eat? if anyone has gone through this

I know when apollo was neutered and my cat (roxie may) was spayed, they didn't eat for a while after the procedure. I think they were nauseous. They came around and ate when they were ready though.

ok sounds good. i read some where that it takes at least 48hrs for them to start eating normal.

hmm. I would call your vet just to give you peace of mind.

Zoe ate after all of her surgeries. (I mean like right after I brought her home. What a piglet. I had to feed her in small portions)

We brought Abby home the same day she was spayed around 4:30. The vet said no water until 9 p.m. & not to feed her until the morning. She was pretty sleepy that day anyway. She ate in the morning.

You can check with your vet so you can feel better about Lola.

well i just called my g/f and she has been eating treats so thats a good sign. but one other thing shes started to lick it and scratch it what can i do about that. theres someone watching her but what about when shes asleep in her crate. how do we go about that?

 

[georgie]

I replied in your other post. You don't want to have her licking her incision. Can you call your vet & get an Elizabethan collar?

 

[Apollopuppy]

They also sell those collars at petsmart.

yea sorry my g/f is a member but i guess mt named was longed in at home. but is it save for them to sleep with it?

Sundance, unfortunately, has slept several nights in his Elizabethan collar thanks to his allergies. He managed to get comfy by sleeping on his side or with his head on his paws without any trouble. I'm sure Lola could, too.

Sounds like she had a bit of a tough time with the anesthesia, poor girl.

yea i know i feel bad for her. when i look at her face it makes me wanna cry. ok thanks good to know but did your dog sleep outside the crate or inside with it on

 

[zoesmom]

Zoe slept w/her e-collar in her large crate. She was fine.

Hope Lola feels better soon.

THANKS ;D

Try giving her a little boiled chicken and rice for her first meal, that is what our vet had us do after Kira was spayed bcs it is gentle on the tummy.

If you can't get an e-collar at short notice, or don't want her to sleep in it, you can try wrapping a sheet or towel around her abdomen where the incision is. Or you can make a temporary e-collar by cutting a hole in the bottom of a plastic bucket to fit around her neck.

I'm glad Lola is feeling better and ate. How did she sleep last night?

You can also put a t-shirt on her until you can get a collar.
