Daisy got spayed today.....

[daisymae2012]

and I feel so useless!!! She is still woozy from the anesthesia and I know she is hurting! They gave her some pain medicine before I picked her up and they said I cannot give her anymore until in the morning. She also had 4 baby teeth pulled!! Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should try to make her more comfortable?

How do you know she is hurting? If you really feel there's some danger or she's in pain, call the vet.

I'm sorry this is happening. My baby was spayed last Tuesday and had no problems, but I understand your concern. I was scared half to death the entire day.

I don't know for sure she is hurting, but she doesn't want to get out of her bed . She has only walked a few steps. Maybe she is still just drugged up a little.

I say give her some extra TLC and she'll be fine But of course if you feel its more serious, than call the vet. However, considering all that she's had done...in one day...she might just need some time to rest and recover...

She hasn't tried to go to the bathroom yet. I guess I may have to try what you did to see if she will go!!

That is pretty common.
Ellie really couldn't even stand up on the night of her spay.
She had pain meds but was crying when she wasn't sleeping.
Things were looking up for her by morning though.
She peed in the early AM and was walking around the table wanting food.

i would- she's had an IV in today which gave her fluids so she should have to pee keep in mind she may be loopy and quiet for a few days- it takes Layla a good 3 days to get over anesthesia- just like her mom it hits her hard

She will be fine by tomorrow! Just watch for oozing or bleeding at the incision site. Usually, with smaller breeds, they are in a bit more pain than larger dogs, and that pain medicine will kick in, just make sure u keep her low key! Glad she made it out ok!

Aww I know how hard it is to watch them like that, but she will be fine in just few days, just like other one said more tlc will do

just lay with her and pet her as i did this with my dee dee when she was spay and just a few weeks ago when my demi had to have 27 teeth removed i think they find comfort in us just being there petting them

OMG!! 27 teeth? I thought my girl had it bad having 19 baby teeth removed.

To the OP. I am sure Daisy will feel much better tomorrow. But I know how tough it is too see your little one in pain and "out of it" because of something we (as their owners) decide is best for them. But in the long run...it usually is.

Thanks everyone for all of your support! Daisy is doing a little better today. She is walking more and I got her to eat a couple bites of food and drink some water! Hopefully she will be better in a couple of days! I hate seeing her like this!!

[Wabbit]

I'm happy to hear that your Daisy is doing better today! I remember how scary it was for me that first day..when my Daizy go spayed!!

Now I get to look forward to going thru it all over again when Tulip gets old enough for her surgery!! :0(
