Thread: Dumb spay question

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    Thanks. My first appointment after her spay is Monday the 7th. My concern is that is too early to expect her to go back to work. It is only for an hour long meeting and most of it she would be laying under my chair. But then the next day there is a 2 hour long meeting. And I am thinking that might be pushing it a bit. DO you think she might be ready for then or do you think I should continue with Ajax and up his training so he can come instead? Both therapists are aware of the situation and are fine with either of them.

    I am sure she'll be fine to work for a couple hours by the 7th. It is not like she is pulling sledges or anything, all our dogs seemed back to normal after a day or so, except Freckles (St. Bernard) would show you her tummy for sympathy.

    Lacey was about 5 and had had many litters when I adopted her last June and had her spayed. In 2 days she was ready for walks, couldn't stop her! I just walked a bit more slowly.

    So I too think Sheena will be fine for both of the meetings you have mentioned.

    Have you asked your vet for his/her advice? You know your dog's activity level and obviously the vet would probably overshoot the estimate just to be safe, but it would typically be your best source of advice, in my opinion

    Both Lacey and Layla were spayed at 6 months and were ready to run the next day. Of course they had to be leashed outside for a while, about 10 days. As far as Sheena I would think what you're planning would be fine.

    There's Nicole! Glad you are back. I just wanted to say I hope Sheena's spay and recovery go very well. Please give her, Luca, and Ajax a pat for me!
