Dog is booked in to be speyed next Thursday. I picked next week as it's half term and I'm booked off work, however, when I booked the holiday, I was working Thursday to Saturday, and they have now changed my shift pattern to include Sundays which means I'll have to go back on Sunday 3rd, 3 days after her op, as oppose to the following Thursday which is how it used to be. There is no holiday availability left, so I'll have to go in, but I'm worried about leaving her for any length of time in case she rips her stitches or something (she gets very excited when the door goes etc and I'm concerned she'll hurt herself hurtling at the door. Open plan house so nowhere to contain her).
It's a long time since I've had a dog speyed and I can't remember the recovery time etc.
Also, with regards to walking - I have no garden so will have to take her out for a wee. There's grass about 20 yards away so will she be okay to walk that far on the evening after the op? These worries are the reason I've put off having her done for so long already!
