Caring for a Newly Spayed Female Dog: Post-Operative Tips

You should care for your bitch after surgery to ensure that she recovers as quickly as possible, and the wounds are healed well. Here’s how to help your dog.

You can usually pick up your spayed female dog in the morning or at noon. Due to the fact that the dog has to be sober when they arrive at the surgery, many practices schedule the surgery in the morning.

Prepare yourself for your dog to be very unsteady on its feet. He will not understand what’s happening. The procedure of spaying a bitch can be quite significant and therefore is performed under general anesthesia. Take your bitch home, and if needed, help her up the stairs and into the car.

After spaying, you should rest a lot.

Rest is the first step in proper care. Your newly spayed b*tch will probably want to sleep. Prepare a warm floor bed for your bitch. After anesthesia, dogs can freeze and they should not jump. If possible, avoid climbing stairs for the following few days.

Ideal would be to have the camp close by. It is likely that your dog will be in pain and anxious after the spaying. During the first few days after spaying, your dog will benefit from your closeness. You can also give him a little petting. You will also be on hand to assist your pet if the condition of your four-legged buddy worsens.

You should not feed your dog after neutering.

Your dog will drink whenever he wants to. Many animals experience increased thirst due to general anesthesia. Do not allow your dog to drink large amounts of water. You run the risk of her vomiting it back up. Offer your dog many small amounts water during the first few days after surgery.

You should, however, wait for a few minutes before you feed your dog. Firstly, the anesthesia must have worn off completely and your dog must be able keep water down without vomiting. Most veterinarians suggest that you begin feeding your dog slowly, with half-daily rations the day following the surgery.

The wound must be healed quickly over the next few weeks. A spayed bitch will usually wear a bodysuit to keep her from licking any wounds. In any case, make sure she or her other roommates don’t get there.

After consulting with your doctor, you should take your dog for a walk on a leash. Patient must not run around too much, especially when out and about. After all, dirt shouldn’t get into the surgical incision. The same applies to baths.
