spay on this saturday

We had a really hard time keeping our girl quiet for any length of time. They recommended 10 days, I think we made it 5. She was pretty much back to her normal self the next day.

The best thing that we did was to invest in an indoor xpen, and at least she had a little bit of room and didn't have to sit in her crate all day. Unfortunately, she wanted to be running and jumping right away, so we had to put her in the pen any time we weren't watching her like a hawk.

We also used a baby onesie (little baby outfit that buttons at the bottom) to keep her from licking or biting at her incision. It worked really well, and she didn't have to have the cone.


Is the onesie really work? how can she pee pee when wearing onesie?
 
lol look at the sheltie peejays :)
I was lucky enough that Zoey wasn't the licker, so I didn't have to use clothes or cone of shame to prevent her to lick there, but if I had to pick, the clothing is definitely a cuter and less frustrating approach.

And to add personal experience with Zoey's spay, she was very mellow the days after the surgery. We didn't prevent her to jump on the furniture, but she'd just get up there and lay down. She was not active at all, she'd just sleep anywhere she would get to.

Admittedly, we kinda wished she stayed that way sometimes. She's got so much energy :p

Mui Mui had spayed on last Saturday, she is back to normal today,
but these 2 days, I found blood when she pee pee.
I bought her back to the vet, and the vet checked her incision is fine and no blood come out.
and he said mui mui is doing fine. any experience why will have blood on her urine?
 
Where I live in Ontario, it cost over $300 for everything for Emma and more than that for the neuter for Liam - different vets.

If you can book through the humane society (they have two sites that do spays and neuters close to my area), it is less than $100.00.
 
We live in GTA, Ontario. Cost us approx 450$, but we also had her microchipped and lifetime registration while we were at it.
 
I just had my 4 year old spay yesterday. She's currently with the breeder recovering and will come back home on Wednesday.

We are going to take our grooming table down and put the x-pen up in its place for the two weeks we'll need for her recovery. She loves to jump on the couch, bed, etc. (and the bed is higher off the floor than the couch). So, she'll be in the x-pen during the day and her crate overnight so she can be in the bedroom with us. She definitely won't be happy but she'll be able to heal properly.

The most difficult thing is keeping them calm so they don't pop stitches.

Also, after the heat, you have to wait about 3 months before you can spay the dog. This is due to waiting for the whole heat cycle to be complete.

Actually you only have to wait 1 month after the heat cycled to spay. The wait period is to allow swelling to go down.

How do I know this? My little girl had her heat cycle in September, just prior to her spaying. We had to wait the entire month of October before she could be spay.
