I got to see Madison last night! She is soooo adorable!! (I clean cages at FACE on Monday evening.) I went in and she seemed a little scared, but she warmed up as soon as I started petting and loving on her. I even got some kisses! I would call and speak with someone at FACE, just for peace of mind. Beverly acted the same way the whole evening after her spay, but the next day she was back to her old self. I've been wondering how she is doing. I hope she feels better soon. She is such a sweet baby.
Aww, poor gal. I'd definately call the vet, but I'm also pretty sure it's normal. Eddie vomited twice on the ride home (I took him to a vet that was further away, but was the best...) I think you're doing everything right, you're trying to get her to eat/drink, and you're keeping an eye on her. Give her a few days and she'll be back to her peppy self. Much to my dismay, Eddie still humped things after a few days, so that whole thing about it "calming them down" may not be true after a few days!
Thank you so much for taking the time to give her extra lovin's. :) Your lucky all you got was kisses. When I was filling out the paperwork to check in, a nurse came over to say hi and Madison climbed up her and peed on her. I was so embarassed. :X Haha
I didn't get any pain meds for her because the people at FACE said to only get them if it is necessary. She doesn't seem to be really agonizing or anything. Just sort of listless and relaxed.
i called three times in an hour i was so worried about maraka. they told me to try ice cubes even popcicles. try that, she just slept most of the day the next day too. she was curled up next to the heater like she was cold. but it was in the middle of november she was there.
Poor baby. Lola was out of it for about 2 days after her spay. She wasn't sick, though. That can take a lot out of a little dog. She probably is very uncomfortable, does FACE not give out pain meds routinely? I did give Lola Rimadyl twice and that seemed to help her feel much better. I'd call your vet in the morning if she's not a little perkier.
UPDATE: Madison ate a couple ice cubes today and drank a little water. We made steak for dinner so I poured some drippings onto her kibble and that did the trick. She ate about 3/4 of a cup. We also gave her JUST A LITTLE steak. :)
She is still kind of low on energy, but she hasn't vomitted at all today. And the fact that she's gotten water and food in her tummy is comforting.
Thank you to all the IP users that posted words of wisdom and caring. :)
How about chicken broth ice cubes?
