Verity very ill after spay.

Verity went in for her spay yesterday and although she came round from the aneasthetic fine, she's refusing to eat or drink and hasn't passed anything since either. She is still being nursed at the vets now, which I suppose is the best place for her, but I am ever so worried about the little sausage!

I know the vets will know the best thing, but I'm starting to worry that she won't be coming home.
 
Girls do tend to take a bit longer to get over their spey.. I hope she starts to eat and poop soon... you are right - she is in the best place.
 
Hope she gets better soon. My girl was in for a spay on Friday and is exactly the same, so hope that makes you feel better. We have had her home and are just tempting her with greens/hay etc and just giving her tlc.
 
She seems a lot better. She bit the husband last night when we were feeding her the recovery stuff in a syringe and today took the hint and ate all by herself.

Now we just have to try and reintroduce! She was the protagonist before so maybe she will have calmed down!

Hi, Has she had a post op check at the Vets, the panting is a concern she could still be in some pain, how often has this been happening? Has she been pooping normally? Has she had any pain relief (ie metacam) since coming home? If you're worried I would take her back.

Hope everything is ok.

Hiya,

My two were the same. They were done end of last month and neither wanted to use their water bottle.
So I had to give them water by putting the water bottle in front of them and gently squeezing so they would get used to it.

They are fine now! :) drinking away happily on their own, took almost a week for them to get used to it. :)

I did have a bowl down for a few of the days, but they like to kick everything into it. :p
