Poor Little Huney was spayed yesterday

[anna_66]

Well, I guess that says it all hu?

I tell you, none of our dogs have ever had such a rough time with the anesthesia. We brought her home around 5:30 last night and she is still a little wobbly today. All she's had is a little water, I tried to feed her a little boiled chicken, but she didn't want it.
Roxey woke me up about 2:10 this morning, Huney had thrown up the little bit of water she had last night and was trying to get up and go to the door. So I let her out, and finally she got out in the yard to pee, and when she was trying to come back in, she was wobbling so bad she just fell down. So I went out and picked her up and was carrying her to the house (there was dew on the grass) and I stepped up onto the porch and fell! I went down on my leg and foot, OMG it hurt so bad I could hardly walk, but I never dropped the dog! I figured, let me get hurt, not her! I'm so glad there was noone to see me!
Anyway, maybe she will eat a little when I come home from work this afternoon, I hope.
All Roxey wants to do is play with her, so I think I'm gonna have to leave Huney in the house and let Angus & Roxey outside. She'll probably just sleep anyway.

Awww, poor Huney. She looks so dazed, a bit annoyed, as well. She's still an absolute sweetheart, though. I hope Huney is up and a bit steddier on her feet by tonight. I hope your leg is feeling better, too.

By the way, do you know her approximate age?

[anna_66]

the vet says he thinks around about a year or so because of the tartar on her teeth, but we looked last night, I couldn't really see anything! So we've just made her birthday June 27, 2001 (that's the day we got her).

Huney is a real sweetie pie. Looks like Dad is smitten. lol
It does take time for that to wear off. The photos were great, thanks for sharing them.

Huney looks so tired and maybe a little resentful (ha!) It will be good for her in the long run, the health benefits are so great. Sorry about the surgery Huney, I hope that you feel better real soon.

Is she leaving her stiches alone?

The vet sure did scalp your cute little tummy for such a small incision. You tell mom to get the anti itch cream ready cause it's gonna itchy when the hair starts to grown back in. :eek:

Hope you feel better real soon! :)

[lovemymaltese]

I am familar with the itchiness that dogs experience. Tango itched a lot after his tumor removal surgery last month. The anti-itch cream is a good investment.

[Cincy'sMom]

Poor Huney! Surgery is hard isn't it? Sure looks and sounds like your new mommy and daddy are taken good care of you. Hope you feels better soon!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

(((HUNEY)))
Poor sweetie. I hope Huney is feeling lots better by now. Some animals have a rougher time with surgery than others. Feel better soon sweetie!

[KYS]

Poor thing,
Hopefully she will feel a lot better by tomarrow.

Wishing Huney a speedy recovery.

I hope Huney is starting to feel better. She just might want to soak up more of that TLC!!!!!:)

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

AWWWW
She looks so skinny where the hair is missing... WHAT A FLUFFY GIRL!!
Seems like Roxey is never very far from her, she must like Huney a lot.!!;)
Those pics were cute thanks for sharing them!
Hope you feel better soon sweet Huney!:)

[shais_mom]

What a brave and lovable little girl!! Sounds like she is doing fine tho. Keegan did ok for the first day and the 2nd day was when she had vomiting and diarrhea all over the inside of her crate. Poor baby. I know Huney will get along just fine! She has her big brother and big sister to watch out for her. But poor you when you fell! Take it easy!

[Pam]

AWWWW Huney looks so sweet there in the grass with her dad! :) I hope she is feeling better today. The itching might not really be a problem for her because my Bella (standard poodle) is shaved very close on her tummy every 4-6 weeks just as a part of her normal routine grooming. I have never noticed her to be bothered by it at all. Hope Huney is perking up a little today. You are very lucky to have found such a special one as Huney. Update us when you can. :)

[tatsxxx11]

Oh Huney.....You look so sweet and precious in your pics. I hope you're feeling lots better today:) Sir Jury is tough, isn't it? But you have the best Mommy and Daddy to love you and make you all better. Before long you'll be up and about an chasing Roxey!!:D Lots of love and hugs and kisses to our best patient!! Love, Sandra, Cody and Star.

[Rachel]

I just hate it when they have a rough time after Sir Jury. I remember Keegan's episode well. Hannah experienced an infection after hers and had to go on antibiotics.

Hoping for a good report on Huney. Looks like Dad is giving her the lovies she needs.

[Logan]

Bless her sweet heart.......she truly is a "Huney". I hope tomorrow will bring a new, more enjoyable day for all of you!! :)

[AdoreMyDogs]

I have had very little time lately so please forgive me for not responding sooner. I must say that Huney is the cutest, sweetest, most cuddely chow I have ever seen....EVER! I absolutely love her and I can see how you fell in love with her and adopted her into your loving house. She's in good hands with you.

I am sorry that she's ouchy but hope she gets over this hump soon. I was lucky, when I got Kersey she was already spayed so I didn't have to go through the operation but I can imagine it's alot more tough for the girl doggies then it is for the boy doggies.

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

I have been so busy that I missed this post.

I hope Huney is doing better now. She is such a sweet heart!

[toastco]

Hope You Get well sooooon. Huney! You to Anna! I'd have took a fall for all of my babies too. :D Never mind my getting hurt if my babies were ok. Thanks for the pictures. Looks like Honey is daddy's little girl! She's a sweetie.

Well, Huney's stitches are out, but...I swear, those two (Roxey and Huney)! You can't keep them from playing, it don't matter where they are. I was in the shower and thought ok, they are sleeping everything will be fine, NOT! I heard them playing and howling......anyway..she pulled a couple of stitches and Mark took her to the vet yesterday and she said that it wasn't infected but we need to clean it out with peroxide at least once a day and keep it clean. It looks kinda weird (as in, not all the way together).
Will this heal up on it's own? Anyone else ever had this happen? I haven't but they say not to worry it should be ok.
Here, look at this:

[anna_66]

oops..forgot the picture

[Karen]

I'm sure it will heal, in time, and given that she IS a Chow Chow, her fur will grow back in and no one will ever see the scar!

[shais_mom]

Golly Anna, I can understand why you are concerned! I would say that aslong as she doesn't get TOO rambunctious she should be ok. Just keep a close eye on them. I know she wouldn't leave a bandage on it, Keegan wouldn't either. After Keegan got spayed and when she got sick, she stunk so bad, I had to give her a bath, I covered the incision with a tagaderm from work, but b/c her hair was growing back it didn't stick very well and she wouldn't leave it alone.
It has been over a week since she was spayed hasn't it? They took Keegan's stitches out in 10 days. I would keep a close eye on it like I said and maybe even some Neosporin, tho she probably won't leave it on long, but its the thought that counts!! Since it supposedly speeds up healing.
Good luck and keep us posted!

[toastco]

How's Huney doing? I hope she is healing and doing just fine now. Thought I'd check back with you on her. I'm sure glad you took her in and I'm sure she is happy too:) Mom of Corrie, Lady and Toastco (Dogs) and six cats

I hope Huney is doing better now - Yes her stitches and that open place should heal up just fine. Any creature (including people) that have surgery on their tummy area can have the incision open up. Then it becomes a matter of keeping the area clean and free of infection until it closes on its own... The scar will look a little bigger than usual, but nothing bad should come of this whole thing! By now your worries should be almost over!

Lots of hugs for Huney and Roxey and Angus too!

Huney is such a cutie!! Shiloh split her stitches, too. When we rescued her, they sent her home newly spayed. Two days later, we left her baby gated in the kitchen while we ran out to the store for a short time. When we got back, she had jumped the baby gate and split some stitches. It did look like it wasn't connected in a spot. The vet said it was ok and he was right. Her scar is a little bigger than it originally was, but the hair grew back over it and you can't tell. Don't worry, it will heal!! Good luck!

[anna_66]

Yep, you were all right. The incision has finally healed up fine, and it doesn't bother her any more! I'm so happy for her!

[Sudilar]

Great news!

[wolf_Q]

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier! I'm glad that Huney is doing well! I've never had a female dog, but I bet it is worse for them. We're going to get Reggie neutered soon too.

Those pics are precious!
