Post spay questions for Daisy

Daisy was spayed on Monday morning, she has a few issues afterwards (not eating and got a respiratory tract infection - all now under control!) She started eating again yesterday completly on her own and is pooping and peeing fine :D

Tonight I have let het out of her small area (she's had bed rest) and she's absolutely back to her normal self - she's binkied, stood on her hind legs to investigate, flopped, been head butting my feet etc.... Is this ok for her to be so active? Her wound is fine and she had internal stitches then was glued.

She was scratching to get out so I wanted her to have some time out.

Thanks in advance x
 
I'm glad the issues have been sorted out and she's pooping, wee-ing and eating again.

But bearing in mind it's only Wednesday so just 2 days since a major op, I'd be quite wary about letting her go too mad. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind - too strenuous a binky and wham! wound will open. If she stretches herself too much it may hurt her wound site and then it'll irritate her so she'll end up scratching it. Don't forget that the pain relief you were given for her is like us having morphine - it's very strong and therefore she won't feel anything until it's too late. My vet said that if ours were racing about and too boisterous for at least 5 days then to keep them caged. I've followed this advice and they are absolutely fine now, exactly a week after they were done. Don't rush it. Plenty of time to play later.
