Honey is getting spayed today

[*Lucy*]

Well I've got to take Honey to the vets for 9.30 and i'm not looking forward to it!!

She already knows something is wrong because she didnt get her breakfast this morning - she sat there and watched Molly eat and looked up at me as if to say 'what about me??' 

I know everything will go ok its the time after the operation I'm worrying about,,,,,,,,,when Molly was spayed she was very quiet and kept herself to herself, no running or jumping, she just stayed in her bed - but Honey is going t be a different story, I know it!!

Honey is so active its unbelievable, she just has to run everywhere and jump on every piece of furniture until she finds the most comfiest piece then settles down, even in the garden she doesnt stop running about and jumping off the wall onto the grass etc - how the heck am I going to be able to stop her doing this??

Anyway, please can you all send healing thoughts and gentle cyber hugs for her today?!

Thanks

Wishing you and Honey all the best!!!

It has been pretty hard keeping our Honey calm since she was done on Monday, but she's doing ok.  Her on-lead walks have been a little longer than advised (but then she is used to a good 1/2 hr off lead twice a day).  We have put a cushion on the floor so she doesn't need to jump up to the sofa.

The main thing we have realised is that her jumper is the equivilent of doggie kryptonite!!!! We had to take it off briefly last night, as it was wet, and Honey raced around like a thing possessed.  The second it went back on, she curled up and went to sleep!!!
Don't ask me why!!

Aaaw good luck today.    Sure it will all go fine.   

I found the worst bit was keeping Coco still afterwards.    Even the evening of the op when she came home she was raring to go.    In the end I had to put her lead on even to go into the garden for a wee to stop her doing the wall of death round the garden and off the steps!    After about a week though, we pretty much went back to normal - it is amazing how fast they recover.

Good luck for today Honey.
Try to keep yourself busy Lucy. It's a lovely day around here isn't it! I think you should take Molly for a good run on the beach because she will be wondering what's going on too.
Sending you lots of love and hugs

Good luck for today.

When Fern was spayed we took all the cushions off the sofa and put them on the floor, so at least if she did try to get on the sofa it was not such a jump.  As for the garden we were told she had to stay on the lead so that prevented her from dashing around.

The worse thing we found with Fern was that she was obviously uncomfortable and would do a strange spin and then lie on her tummy.  She got lots of cuddles though and me and OH slept downstairs with her for a week!

Good luck for today.

When Meg was spayed she cried all night the first night which was awful but then the following day seemed to pick up and she never looked back.  She had to have on lead exercise for 10 days afterwards.

They are amazing how quickly they recover.

Lots of love Honey.  She will be ok Mum.  I remember worrying about Kali when she was done but as others have said, the hardest part is trying to keep them still.  I gave up with Kali in the end.  Nothing I did would stop her jumping on the settee   Big hugs and good wishes coming your way

Good Luck for to day, lots of healing hugs and thoughts coming your way!

Ellie was done a week ago today, and it hasn't been to bad. I have had to keep Monty away from her as he is very rough and wants to jump on her. I have two crates, and used the small one in the lounge with us for Ellie. What with the crates and a dog gate we have managed to keep her safe :lol2:If she went to jump on things I told her NO, and bless her she has been quite good. She did cry quite a bit the first night home, I think the anaesthetic causes this. I have been keeping her on short lead walks on her own. She is not happy when I take the other two out. I did read that they shouldn't run, chase balls etc [Ellie's favourite thing] for 4 weeks, to allow the internal side of things to heal. I will ask my vet about this when we go on Monday for her check up. I know it's difficult but I'm sure little honey will be OK.

I'm glad it was successful, gentle hugs from me and cocker kisses from Oz.
