But Jen, remember, she IS smaller, so normal swelling might look like BIGGER swelling? Follow me? I can imagine what the same swelling would look like on Allen - you'd probably hardly notice it. (See... I'm trying to make myself feel better! )

I've been 'googling' what I should expect after a spay (and not finding much) but they all say that pain and swelling is very normal. To watch for excessive swelling, discolorations, pussing, etc. They all say that medicating is standard practive after spay (I remember this being the topic of several interesting threads around here.)

I was wondering how I was going to have the sutures removed in a week. From what I hear, the surgical glue is a perfecly accepted way of closing a surgical opening.

Lori, what happened after Rumor was spayed? Who else recently had a girlie spayed? Debbie? Was Lizzie spayed yet? I'm so bad I can't remember!
