Thanks Judy

Yes and you were taking about spay before first heat not inconvenience from any spay!! Please can the moderator remove this person. It's harmful that they are trying to give advice when clearly not qualified

This was not a thread about spaying timings!! But since you want to hijack it and push your opinions and potential be harmful, I will post some actual evidence: "No significant difference in the age at the time of ovariohysterectomy between continent and incontinent dogs was identified" Current...

Sorry to hear about your friend. There are health advantages and disadvantages to the dog for a spay before and after first season - also varies by dog breed/size and general health of the dog. I would strongly advice others not to follow potential "one off" scare stories like this one as...

Hi Mel Just to add some more reassurance for when you get your little one done...I've just taken Luna for a check up and they said all is healing quickly and unless anything changes she'll be able to get back to normal exercise in 3-4 days. So overall less than a week (although I will carry on...

I've now had to change to a suit as she was managing to still lick the wound with the cone and also scratch it with her back leg. I seem to have a very bendy puppy

Oh bless him! That is a funny picture though

Hi, just to let you know how we are getting on. She had the spay yesterday. The vet said most dogs feel sorry for themselves afterwards but Luna was really happy, wagging her tail at everyone and loving the attention She whined quite a bit in the evening but it seemed to just be due to not...

Thank you very much!

Thanks Mel! I think the suit sounds like a good idea too... I'll just check with the vet as it might be best to keep the wound exposed initially to help healing... I'll let you know how we get on

Thanks very much! I think I will get a vest. Hopefully it'll also help keep her dry when I take her out to the toilet. I've not taken time off but am working from home at the moment anyway so I'll be with her all the time, hopefully that'll be ok.

Awww poor Jasper ! He looks very shaky Thanks Judy, this is all really helpful.

Thanks Judy, this is really helpful. How did you find him when you say "drugged up"? Was it tiredness or disorientation or aggression? Did you go with the cone option too or a suit to stop him licking the stitches. I can't imagine her keeping a cone on, but could be wrong! She may just get...

Last message to you. I am following scientific advice and recommendations of an expert rather than someone I don't know online. If you think this is the wrong thing for me to do,so be it. All I wanted was a few ideas for keeping her comfortable post operation.

Maybe just answer the question I asked or just stay quiet, rather than being offensive?

I find this extremely rude. I'm not doing it now because it's "convenient". I'm doing it because I've had conversations with the vet and done research and have seen that there are health benefits from spaying before the first heat. I wouldn't do anything to potential harm my puppy for my...

Appreciate your replies but I'm happy with the vet advice to do it before her first season. I was just looking to hear experiences of what it's like for the 2 weeks afterwards

The vet told me it's best to do just before 6 months for a small breed....

She's almost 6 months now. The photo is quite old!

Hi, I'm due to get puppy spayed next week and am feeling a little anxious about the aftercare since I've not been through this before. Could anyone share their experiences of what it was like please and any tips on keeping her occupied while jumping and running isn't allowed. Thanks
