Dragondawg,

Unfortunately, that's not my case! I had Waffles spayed today and it's already been a very rough ride. She's thrown up twice since I picked her up this evening. The vet office that I picked her up from was extremely unfriendly. I wasn't sure what questions to ask and even if I did know my mind just wasn't there today. They never explained what happened and how it went. Just threw me a sheet and said: no baths, no off the leash walks or runs for 14 days, and to come back in 10 days to get the stitches taken out! They were very unpleasant to me. I had to ask how much the surgery was going to cost when I dropped her off and, they looked at me like I was some kind of low-life. Then, I had a question about a health concern when I did pick her up and again they rolled their eyes and made me feel like a terrible "mom".
I feel warn out and frustrated. My regular vet doesn't do surgeries anymore and recommended the people I saw today. I don't think I even want to go back there to have her stitches taken out when it's time. I feel so bad for my baby!!!! I feel like she's suffering.
***What are the exact signs of a female that has just been spayed?***
So far she's been VERY tired and weak. She's thrown up twice (water, hair and mucus)<<Is this normal?
It seems as though she's having a difficult time going potty.
She seems to want to drink a lot but, when she does she goes and throws it all up.
Besides looking for swelling and infection in the area of the stitches, is there anything else I should be looking for?
Any advice, information, heck just talking to someone that's been through this would be nice!!!
Thanks,
Tina
