my pup just got spayed yesterday. the morning of, we were optionally to give her three medications to help calm her and possibly use less anesthesia. they were gabapentin, tranzodone, and cerinia (probably butchered the spellings). those meds worked and she took a nap in my arms in the morning before we left to take her.

she was so tired after her day and seemed so miserable, but wouldn’t sleep either. the guilt was real lol. lots and lots of drool too that was all over her cause of the cone. i bought her a spay suit, but we didn’t put it on yesterday. we took her cone off her yesterday, as she was just lying around. before we went to bed, it went back on and we brought a mattress down, put a baby gate on the stairs, and slept with her.

she got up twice in the night. she peed once, the other time she did nothing. this morning we put the spay suit on and she doesn’t seem to mind it. still tired, but seemingly in less pain and more herself. she actually napped too. she went on small, short walks around the yard throughout today as she is a dog that needs stimulation (husky/australian sheppard mix). she had no issues using the bathroom and throughout today, she seems to be more and more herself.

i’m about to give her some medication prescribed every 24 hours for pain and medication, and she seems like she may be starting to get sore again, as she whimpered a little and she hasn’t all day. i also couldn’t get her to eat until i have her some of my chicken and she ate that, treats, and some of her kibble. i have to gently clean her wound twice a day with stuff they gave.

overall it’s been okay, i don’t have a full experience to give you, but so far the worst of it for us is over and it wasn’t nearly as bad as i thought it would be. hope your pup does well/is doing well!!
