Honey is getting spayed today

[Helen]

how is she doing? 

[*Lucy*]

Its awful - she's hiding under the coffee table crying and she wont come out 

I dont know what to do 

Molly is being really gentle with her though 

[EmmaA]

Poor Honey 
I'm sure she will come out when she is feeling a little better. I would give her a blanket to snuggle up to in her chosen spot.
I'm glad the Molly is being gentle with her, it's as if they understand isn't it.
I hope Honey improves as the night goes on.

I'm sending her lots of healing thoughts and Eric has got lots of cocker Kisses for her 

[Helen]

awww poor baby    She just doesn't know whats happening/happened.

The anaesthetic can do funny things to them, probably hasn't completely worn off yet, and she's probably in pain too.

If you have it I would recommend Rescue Remedy or Emergency Essence, just to try and calm her down a bit.

I'm sure she will be ok soon, but if she's not and this gets worse, call the vet 

[Sheryl]

It is heartbreaking when they are crying isn't it?  Kali was the same, crying, shivering, going round and round in circles as if she couldn't get comfy.  I knew she would feel better real quickly but I am afraid I caved and phoned the vet insisting on Metacam for her   It will get better, don't worry too much

[caro]

Oh you poor thing I do feel for you.  Sounds like Sheryl had a similar experience that soon got better.  Hope she's ok - and as Helen says if you are worried called the vets

(((hugs)))

Thanks everyone 

Had to leave her on her own for 10 mins while I took my eldest to rugby training - when I got home she had come from under the table and is now *trying* to get comfortable in her bed!

She'll be OK its just so horrible seeing her like this

She'll be OK its just so horrible seeing her like this 

Poor baby    Just wait though - she'll probably be raring to go in the morning!   

[Michele]

Glad the op went well and I agree with Joules, she might be uncomfortable tonight but will be raring to go tomorrow. 

Don't forget the t-shirt instead of the buster collar to keep her off her stitches if you need it.

Glad to hear all went well - our Honey was the same when she first came home, very whiney and sleepy.  She was also very very hungry!!  When we let her out for a wee, she just sat in the middle of the lawn in the rain!

By the next morning she was pretty much back to normal, but still hungry!!!! Now (4 days later) she is just getting fed up of this on-lead exercise only rubbish!

She has certainly forgiven us, and no ill efects re: vet either - she was happy enough to go back for her check up yesterday! 

[Nicola]

I'm glad her op went ok and I hope she's feeling a bit better now    I send you my full sympathy on the crying and distress, believe me I know how you feel 

[Rats and Dogs]

Aw, poor Honey. I'm glad the op went well, but sorry she wasn't feeling too good. I'm sure after a night's sleep, she'll be feeling a lot better.

Give her a kiss from me.

[*Lucy*]

I was just sat on the floor next to Honey's bed stroking her and Molly walked up and licked Honey's back  but Honey went for her!! It was scary, Honey's never, ever done that before - just proves how messed up she must be feeling 

I feel so guilty 

[Rats and Dogs]

Don't beat yourself up over it, she's just feeling uncomfortable and wants a bit of peace. She'll be back to her old self soon enough and will have forgotten this ever happened to her. 

Remember, she is still recovering from the anaesthetic. Don't let her drive, operate machinery or drink alcohol, but you can have some alcohol to help you relax!
