Loads of vibes for Amy - and for you too - it's a worrying time. We've had 4 girls spayed now and all recovered at different rates, the shortest being Harley who was back to normal within 24 hours, and the longest was Cheyenne who took a good 2 weeks before she was 100% back to herself. It took them all at least 12 hours before they were interested in food -and even then it was just the odd bits of tried dandelion leaf.
One thing I did which I think helped keep the gut moving - and the poops coming - was after 24 hours I let them out for a brief run around the lounge - they all popped out of their hutches/pens for just a few minutes, stretched their legs and then came back - and it seemed to help them. It was entirely their own choice though - at no point did I force them out.
Do insist on pain meds though - for some weird reason my vets won't give them and last time I had a real fight, insisting I take some home - I won that battle thank goodness and it was well worth getting stroppy.
Keep letting us know how she is getting on.:thumb:
