The one point I remember on the instruction sheet for after care is to not allow them to go down steps or to jump. Right. None of my girls were the least bit woozy. I was also told to limit their food intake. Right again. They all went downstairs straight to the food dishes. Except for the shaved belly and stitches, you'd never know that my girls had had surgery. I still kept an eye on them but they never had any problems whatsoever. My vet gives a pain med injection after surgery but, since they were spayed early in the morning, by the time I picked them up at the end of the day, they were ready to go home!
