Jessie can have water, Lynsey - ours always have before their ops, just no food (try explaining why they can't have their bedtime biscuit when everyone else can ;)) Try not to worry, I'm sure Jessie will be fine in next to no time. Do get some Arnica tablets though & start giving her them as soon as you get her home - I've found they do help to reduce any post-op swelling & bruising:)

Daisy had her op a couple of weeks ago. The vet said no food after 7.00pm and no water in the morning.

When I went to pick her up at 2.00pm she seemed ok, but was very groggy when we got home. She just sat around (very un-Cocker) and stared. Then she slept all evening/night. The next day though, she was much better (about 60%) and by the evening she was back to normal.

The vet put a gauze-type cover over the wound which was removed on the Monday (the op was Friday). I was amazed but Daisy didnt lick/scratch the wound at all, never once seemed in pain and the only problem was not taking her for her normal walks.

10 days later, the stitches were removed and I could release the coiled spring!

I'm sure Jessie will be fine too.

The reason we had it done was because we didn't want to put Daisy through having pups, plus the health benefits and we also added up the 3 weeks per season of on the lead walking x 2 per year and it comes to a large portion of her life. Daisy lives for her mad runs on the Downs!

I'm sure Jessie will be fine Lynsey, and your little boy too   :)  

I have to say you're very brave in making the decision, we haven't decided whether or not to have Millie spayed yet  :-

 :-*  :-* in advance for Jessie  ;)

Just read this. I'm sure she'll be fine Lynsey. I know just how you're feeling because I was a nervous wreck when Poppy was spayed last year. I used Arnica tablets too and I'm sure they helped her heal quicker. Think I got them from Boots.

I'm sure she'll be so pleased to see you when you go and pick her up and she'll enjoy lots of cuddles and TLC when she gets home  :)

Hope you're not too worried and give Jessie a big kiss from me and Poppy when she gets home  :-*

I give 1 tablet every hour to begin with - remember not to touch the tablets with your hands, just tip the tablet into the lid of the pot & either empty it straight into Jessie's mouth or you could crush into a powder between 2 spoons & then empty this onto Jessie's tongue. It sounds fiddly but it's not once you get used to it ;) Also don't give Jessie any food with the tablet - homeopathic remedies shouldn't be given with food or either just before or after a dog has eaten. You can reduce the dose gradually as time goes on - the every hour dose is just for the first day or so.
