I'm glad to hear she's home and doing better. They usually don't have much of an apetite after going through surgery. Once the drugs wear off she should start eating more. Since she's an older dog it will be harder for her to bounce back than a younger dog.

This is a lesson hard learned about the importance of spaying and neutering that I hope anyone reading this and has unaltered animals will take into consideration and have their pets spayed/neutered before something bad happens whether it be an accidental litter, cancer, or pyometra. And don't fool yourself with "it won't happen to my dog", sewmisskitty didn't think so either.

Best wishes to Gracie.
