Our 1 year old dog had her spay done on Monday. Apparently everything went well.
We were given pain relief for her, which I've stuck to religiously.
Since her spay she's been very subdued. Will sit wherever she is until someone moves her. Needs carrying to the garden. Walks very awkwardly - almost scuttles, very low to the ground, back end tucked up, tail between legs. She's also licking her back legs a lot. She's wearing a blow up "doughnut" around her neck in stead of a cone - She can't reach her wound. Wound looks sore.
Eating fine, drinking as long as someone brings her the bowl.
Yesterday we had a drop in clinic at the vets with the nurse. She asked a vet to come and see her. They took her temp and it was high so they've put her on antibiotics. They've also changed her pain relief as she's had diarrhoea.
I'm taking her back Monday to see if she can have the stiches out yet - not due to Thursday but vet would like them out earlier if poss .
I can't help worrying there's more to it than just the spay but as a first time owner I've never dealt with one before. This just feels extreme though, she looks so sad
Does this sound normal?
