jenny, it will depend on how she seems now but it isn’t ideal. Hopefully she will be OK but any concerns I would be onto the vet.

I would also like to say a huge thank you for your informative post. My 6mth old border collie was spayed yesterday and being a first time dog owner I had no idea of what to expect.It cost me £202inc here in the UK. Friends and vets can advise but all dogs are different. I picked her up at 5pm after her being at the vets all day. She managed to walk across the road home and then just sat and couldn’t move. She eventually got into the house after bribing with treats. Eating seems normal and she has drunk a little. She has wee’d but not poo’d which seems to be a problem for her as you watch. I was sent home with painkillers but couldn’t start the course until today. She has 4 days worth. Last night was horrendous, I ended up staying with her all night as she just couldn’t settle. She hates the collar but will chew her stitches. She takes about 2 steps then just seems to drop her bottom as if its too heavy for her. Has anyone else noticed this? She then just sits and her head drops as she is so tired, she will try to lay down but then jumps up as if in pain. She did jump on the sofa today despite trying to stop her, propped herself up the back and rested her head on the windowsill to watch outside. She then fell asleep for about half an hour. But as I am typing this she has managed to get comfy in her bed and is sleeping. Maybe ignoring and not fussing helped? I, like lots of others here came on to see what post op symptoms there may be so i am so pleased to have found you. I have rung the vets and they did say that if she appeared to be in pain still tomorrow then I could get some stronger painkillers.

My boyfriends 3 yr old pit was spayed yesterday and this morning while in my care my pit got stuck with her is this something we should worry about?

Amy, she will probably not want to get on the bed for a few days. You will probably find that she is happy on the floor until she feels a little better. If not, then maybe try sleeping low with her for a night or two. I hope it all went OK.

Hi there!
First of all, thank you so much for such a wonderfully informative thread of comments and questions; I feel MUCH less alone in my nervous state! We are taking our Annie Rose in tomorrow morning and I’m a bundle of nerves! Annie is our 26lb GoldenRetriever mix and I feel so bad just because she doesn’t know what’s coming, ya know? Anyway, i do feel much better having read so many experiences and ponderings!
One question: Annie sleeps with us in our (tall) bed every night. She has her own bed on the floor at the foot of our and jumps up an down throughout the evening. How should we go about this? Should we sleep on the lower sofas in the living room perhaps? Thoughts and ideas would be greatly welcomed!!
Wags and Woofs,
Amy, Shane and Annie Rose

Mia, just put her on the floor until she is better, that would be best.

I’m scared to sleep with my dog. She is a chihuahua. She sleeps underneath the covers were should input her. I don’t want to ruin the stitches.

debbie it will just be the sensation returning after the meds and the stitches getting tight. She will be fine in a day or two I am sure.

Our Shitzu was neutered two days ago. She seems fine except that she jumps sometimes like she’s being goosed. Could this be pain. Took her temp and it’s normal. She’s eating, drinking, peeing, pooping. Just can’t figure out the odd behavior.
