Honey was scheduled for the 4th Jan. My vets rang me this afternoon, they have a space for her tomorrow - I wanted tomorrow originally as I have mon and tues off work anyway.

Eek bless my little baby girl, she hasn't a clue :(

Hi all, my baby is home... She is so sad :(
I went to pick her up about 1ish, they did her first thing to save her getting stressed out in the cage. She has a weeks worth of pain meds to start tomorrow. She is wearing her inflatable collar and she hates it.
She is currently lying in her crate with the door open. She is not sleeping, she wont lie down and relax, but she looks tired. She has refused food and water too, but she asked to go out as soon as we got home and she did a poo, no pain. I am leaving her be for a while now.
They gave me the Hills Diet canned food - does anyone recommend using this for a few days? Ive looked at the ingredients and its full of cereals/animal derivatives so i wasn't planning to! Is her normal food ok? The advised using the Hills as its very plain and wont upset her stomach after the anesthetic?
Also, what temp should i be keeping the room? I dont want her to get too cold/hot? Should i be checking her temperature?

Glad Honey is home safe and sound!

As far as food, I'd feed her her regular food. No need to change her diet. Anesthetic may give her a tummy ache but its not usually a major problem.

You don't need to change the thermostat, just make sure she has lots of warm blankets. Some people use a heating pad, too, like you would for little pups.

I hope she has a fast recovery!!!!

When Leo got neutered this past fall, he was the same way, he didn't sleep right away either. He had a hard time getting comfortable and then when he would try to lay down, he would yipe and cry. And his eye were all crazy too, I was trying to find a pic to show you but I just transferred all the old pics to my pc.
If she doesn't eat in a couple of hours, maybe offer her some deli meat or chic breast. I'm guessing she hasn't eaten since last night.

Thanks both. I lifted her up to me for a kiss and cuddle and she fell to sleep on me straight away! She just wanted to be close to me, bless her. So ive set her up next to me on the sofa and she has been asleep for 10 mins + now, yay. Will try her with food again when she wakes up, thanks, ive got some chicken breast too.

So glad Honey's spay went ok, it's a worrying time for us Mummy's. Her recovery so far sounds all very normal, I remember Bella just sitting up in her little bed and me wishing she'd just settle a little bit. Glad she's managed a bit to eat as that should help to settle her tummy, in a few days she'll start to feel as right as rain. X

Thanks Lisa, i was expecting her to be sleepy so to just have her sat there was not in my plan lol. Do you think i should offer her more food? She looks like she would eat more, but i dont want to push it, esp with her diarrhea.

Your care will go a long way Rachel, and will help her recover quickly.
Give beautiful Honey a very gentle kiss from me. :love2:


ps: I love your new avatar picture, you look really pretty.
