Nellie got spayed today and she is not handling it well. We picked her up at 3:30 this afternoon and to be expected she was not a happy girl but she was moving around a little.
An hour later she tried adjusting herself on her blanket and started screaming in pain. I got her calmed down but a few minutes later she tried to move to another blanket and again screamed. I gave the pain meds but she crawled under the couch crying and now won't come out, it's 8:00pm here. I can hear her move now and then and when I stick my hand under there I can feel her breathing.
I am worried about dehydration too, I did get her mouth wet and put some water on her gums before she went under the couch but beyond that she hasn't had anything to drink. None of my dogs have had this reaction to spay or neutering so I am worried.
Please pray that the pain subsides this evening and that she perks up a bit in the morning.
I have to leave her for a few hours tomorrow and am dreading it plus my daughter is upset because "Nellie isn't Nellie anymore":sad5:
