Guest Anonymous Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hello not sure if any of you remember my Baby Bell... But she is my 5 month old chihuahua. Well Bell was fixed today. I picked her up at about 1:00Pm. She was tired and went rite to sleep. I think that is normal. But now I am a bit worried. She has not walked around at all. I did pick her up and set her next to her bowls, but she did nothing but walk back to the cough and laid down and went to sleep. She also has not gone potty since this morning. I did give her a little bit of water from a dropper. she took that well. She would not eat her food but she did eat a treat laying down. I have been giving her Nutri-Cal. Other then that she has not moved. I need to know if this is normal for a little dog. She weighs 4.5 pounds now. I am afraid to go to sleep, I just want to make sure she will keep waking up. Any advise would be loved. Thanks so much, Terra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahstaff Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 She's just still woozy from the anesthesia, and possibly a bit sedated from pain killers (if they gave her those). Let her sleep, and she'll probably be back full throttle tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Thanks so much for that site..... It helps. I am just so worried about her. any other dog that I have ever seen was always pretty active a couple hours after they came home. Or at least walking around and drinking. I have had so many scares with her being allergic to everything that the vet has given her. I am just so happy that the surgery didn't make her swell up twice the size, or worse. Thanks again, Terra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Don't worry. It takes a good couple of days before bitches get over being spayed. Keep encouraging her to drink little amounts of water and offer her something tasty to eat, but if she doesn't want to eat just now, don't worry.

imported_Debbie Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I'd say she's acting normal......especially for such a wee dog. When I had my Jacks spayed they came home that night.....all they wanted to do was cuddle and sleep. :wink: Vet told me to keep them calm for a week........ :o :roll: About the 2nd day they were moving a little slow but almost normal. I think I was more worried about them than I needed to be :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
