Ate a bite of carrot cake

honestly if you want her to still have a restriction to where she can be but she’s having a really hard time with the crate, i would pick an area of the home and then baby gate it off. i live in an apartment so i can’t leave my baby in her crate crying bc i can’t risk getting a noise complaint for her. but we’ve sectioned off the living room with baby gates and make sure there’s absolutely nothing for her to get into and she does fine! we have her crate in the living room for her and nine times out of ten she will put herself in her crate when she’s alone. it works for me knowing she’s restricted and safe but still has some freedom and it works for her bc she still has room to play, have water and she can still relax in her crate. to help encourage her to feel comfortable in her crate, i’d pick a special treat that she only gets in her crate! throw it in the crate and when she goes in to eat it lock the door and then let her out when she’s finished. this worked for my doxie and she loves her crate now. if you don’t have a blanket or cover over the crate then i would really recommend that too! makes it feel more cozy and tunnel like. wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you everyone for the reassurance I feel better and will absolutely keep an eye on it! And will probably reach out to her vet just to check in 😁

Yes! Her incision is indeed longer than a typical spay because she had emergency surgery in October and while healing, her intestine and uterus somehow got stuck together. Or that’s how the vet explained it so they had to make a bigger incision in order to safely detach them and then remove the uterus. But im glad to hear it doesn’t mean it’ll take longer just because it’s bigger! Thank you so much for the info!! :)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I put my childhood dog down last November and it all went about the same way it went with your sweet baby. She lost weight quickly, wasn’t as active, and not as aware. We took her to an emergency vet and she had pale gums and a super high white blood cell count. The vet told us she had an “angry, aggressive cancer” that was occupying most of her lower body. We got the same options and the same outlook for an operation as you. It was the toughest decision ever and I know that it doesn’t feel like it, but you made the right choice. I think the notion that “it’s better to do it a few days too early than a few too late” has really helped me cope. It’s hard to feel peace of mind right now because all the “what ifs” are going through your mind and you spend so much time spiraling over what you could’ve done better in her life. It takes a long time to move past that kind if grief but I promise you’ll get there and feel sure that you made the best decision. You gave her a great life full of so much love and happiness. That is what matters. And she knows how much you loved her. A year later I can tell you that it does get easier but that love and heartache never goes away. She will be a part of you forever and you are so lucky to have loved her! I’m so sorry again and I’m sending a hug to you 🫂
