I wonder...how much should I be giving her? I put about 3/4 of a tablespoon of A/D, mixed with water, and it came out to about 12 MLs. I got about 9 MLs in her. I plan on doing it 3 times a day, and wonder if there is a target to shoot for?

She is more alert today, and I assume most of the pain meds are out. I wonder, though, what the consequences are with giving her NO antibiotics at all. I remember that with TNR, a female is spayed without any additional antibiotic, and seemingly does ok. I think Allie's surgery was more invasive than a typical spay...but, hope I am not killing her by not giving antibiotics.

Thoughts?
9 ml per feeding - that would be about 1 ounce per day. Doesn't seem like enough to me, but would check with your Vet tomorrow and see how much they think is a good amount. Also ask about the antibiotic. There is one out there that can be given by injection and is good for 2 weeks. Not sure if that is the type of ABX they prefer, but might be better than none at all.
