Because my dog is not eating this morning because she get done with her surgery and I try to think what to give for my dog to eat but please let me know what kinda food you give for your dog
@@jasminethomas2800 after our dog's surgery, she wouldn't eat for hours. We even tried feeding her her favourite: peanut butter and she refused! Eventually she started eating. We were advised to just feed her her regular food to avoid her throwing up.
Please please please can you tell if you took out the incision bandage yourself at home? If yes, how long after the surgery you did? I’d be extremely grateful for your response. We had our dog spayed yesterday and we are unable to remove her bandage.
All of my dogs have experienced this surgery. Pamper them for the next few days and they will be fine. Each of my dogs lived for years! One lived 14 year, the last one lived until 19 years.
I’m so worried for my girl who is going for her surgery on Tuesday. Seeing comments like yours makes me feel slightly better knowing I’m doing the right thing 😢
My lucy girl looked so out of it when i picked her up, poor thing couldn't even lift her head😢and her whimpering made me instantly in tears. I cuddled her and rocked her and her whimpering stopped. We used the surgical suit as she looked so miserable in her cone. She slept alot the 1st 2 days and after that she was wanting to play. That was the hard part keeping her from jumping and off the stairs. She recovered, thank god its over😊
I had my 1 year old Cockapoo spayed and I was in tears. It was harder on me than her. My pup is a trooper, not a single tear shed! I removed the cone after a few hours and she wore a post surgery protective suit from Amazon. Best decision ever made!!
When i had my year old female spayed, i bought her a surgical recovery suit from Amazon, it does up along the back and protects the wound, so no need to wear a cone which she would hate.
I've seen those recovery suits as well, but I didn't hear about them until after Sophie's surgery. I definitely wonder if that would have helped Sophie when it came to sleeping in the crate and not having the bothersome cone on.
I’m glad I came across this video & this comment about the surgical recovery suit. I’ve never heard of a surgical recovery suit for dogs after their procedures. My boxer is getting spayed in April. I’m definitely going on Amazon to purchase a suit. Thank you both for the information
@@MoniqueWhite504 Yes, the surgical suit was a blessing for my Yorkshire. She was depressed on Day 1 from wearing the cone and I couldn't fathom the though of seeing her like that for another 13 days.
@@kenlove1933 oh wow. This is very helpful to hear. I’ll be ordering my pup’s suit from Amazon. I’ve heard how the cone can be in the way too much and the dogs don’t like it. Thank you so much
@@MoniqueWhite504 During the day while being monitored I took it off for about an hour but she mostly wore it at night. Buy two just incase a little urine gets on one of them. She was so happy after I removed the cone on Day 1.
I had my late dog neutered as a very young pup and he took it like a champ, not one whine and just went about his day with his cone, he recovered very well. Now I had the same expectations for my older pup who got neutered today and is whimpering non stop even with pain meds, it breaks my heart.
Always hold onto knowing that spayed male dogs live 13,8% longer than ones thats not on a survey of 70,000 dogs and females are way up in the 33% region so you are giving them the gift of life really. ❤🐶🐕
@@janette5058 My labradoodle got spayed at 6 months old and turns 17 in October. Yes, a 17 year old full-sized labradoodle. She still goes on daily walks and has no major issues, just stiff in the mornings.
We had our 6 month old Cockapoo pup spayed today. Her name is also Sophie! She looks so tired and poorly at the moment 😢. I’m glad you gave us a heads up about the crying nights and the raised head position. Thanks for sharing.
I hope that your Sophie has a quick recovery, it can be so hard seeing our pets in pain but I'm sure in no time at all she'll be back to her normal self. I hope she has a restful first night. 😊
Got my 7 month old poodle spayed today 8/9/22 I feel so sad for her she doesn’t like the cone at all. Just ordered the surgical suit on Amazon for her (thanks) to a review I read I found out about it.she looks so sad hope my baby recovers soon!
I've heard a lot of positive things from recovery suits, so I really hope it works for you and your puppy. I hope she has a speedy recovery and that she's back to her normal self as soon as possible. 😊
My puppy got her surgery today. She is generally picky on her food and doesn’t eat much. Hope she gets better in them. We’ll see how her “night one” will be 😢
Awww cute puppy. I have a 5.5 month Weimaraner and we are just beginning Day 2. Keeping control of a 50 pound puppy post surgery is a lot of work but she’s worth it! She basically spent the afternoon of Day 1 (surgery day) in the kennel or a potty break/water intake break. She definitely didn’t want food the first day!. I’m walking into Day 2 with confidence lol. 8 more days to go and the collar can come off! (I’ll still be watching her with licking and jumping though). Now to watch your updates. Thanks for sharing! The only advice I would offer is a blanket over the crate at night to make it dark. Mine has a Ruffland kennel and it’s like a dark den inside. Congrats on finishing your spay journey lol … we are getting there!
What area of the house did you confine her to? How did you keep her from going on the couch/bed? Every room we have has one. And she’s too big for play pens. She also is a 50 pound puppy. I’m stuck :(
Thanks for the video :) We're getting our 1 year (15 months) old cockapoo spayed tomorrow and we're unsure. I grew up with a couple female dogs and never had to do this. Fingers crossed everything goes well.
Thank you for sharing. Our cavapoo looks just like your pup. We just had her spayed yesterday, at 6 months 15 days. She isnt too happy with the cone, but shes doing ok so far. I had her perfectly crate trained until i had to leave a few weeks, and my wife and daughter decided to spoil her and let her sleep with them in bed. 😳🤷♂️😄 i came back and sleeping in a crate was not an option. I spent sleepless nights training her. I guess i need to do it again if we are going to get her back crate trained...😏🙂 Anyways, she hasnt been wining at all, yet anyways. She has no issues eating and going potty outside. But the cone thing she isnt too happy about. I may try the surgical suit thing. But, i talked to someone at petsmart and they said they are good, but the dog may still try to lick their wound, and the material gets wet, therfore making the wound moist. So have to watch that. Thanks again for all your videos...we love our dogs dont we? 🙂🙂🙂
Thanks for the video. Just got my pup spayed today. Feel sad that’s she’s in pain. She’s quite quiet but she is having some trouble sleeping. They gave her a suit to wear, had to wash it once already. Going to give her medicine in the morning as well. It’s going to be hard to keep her still when she’s feeling better, she usually has tons of energy. Jumping, running, playing with my other dog. Can’t wait until these 2 weeks are over. I feel bad but she’s a small dog, and I don’t want her to get jumped on when she’s in heat. All it takes is a few moments for it to happen. I’d be scared to bring her anywhere.
My dog Naia had her surgery on 03/09/24. The cone stressed her out a lot and I bought a male dog diaper and put it on the operated part and from time to time I take it off so that air can get in. It's a great idea.
Well, I just adopted a dog and I bought a very nice pen for $60 made out a heavy plastic with the door from amazon and I have a crate but I leave the door open wants to be behind bars especially when you have a cone on your head? So so what worked for me is what you did after the fourth day or so just leave the dog in the bed with the cone on in the living room or your bedroom that reduces 100% of the stress I believe. But very good video. I enjoyed it very informative.
Awesome! Thank you very much for the video. My little Shorkey had her surgery about 33 hours ago and she just had her first bowel movement but it was very small because I think it was painful for her. She cried. I think it’s the pressure on her belly from pushing and being a bit constipated from the pain meds. Anyone else experienced this?
I'm glad our video was helpful. I had the same experience with Sophie, when she had her first bowel movement at night following the surgery she also gave out a small cry. I'm not sure what causes this reaction but the next day she was fine when it came to her bowel movements. It doesn't hurt to keep an eye out, just in case. I wish your Shorkey a speedy recovery.
It’s okay to let your dog sleep out of the crate. They should graduate from sleeping in a crate at night to having a bed on the floor. It’s a good thing! Our pup stopped sleeping in her crate at 6months of age. The crate will always be there if needed.
I take cones off for potty, play, sleep and cuddles. All the time Im closely supervising, the pup doesnt have an opportunity to nibble the wound, so give them a break from a cone. Honestly cones cause more stress for some dogs, so look into a post-surgery onesie or a soft cone
She looks like my Tilly and my Tilly is 9½yrs and only now just had it done. I left it as long as I felt I could, for her bones. I didn't want her to be open to osteoporosis when older. That was my personal choice though. She is well and happy we are on day two. Bit uncomfortable but done all the bodily needs and has had a few tiny walks. Eating really well. Had to get it done now because she gets so hormonal and has been having fake pregnancies last few times. Also had a few little seizures which I know are due to hormones. I put a neck scarf band, a cotton one over her stitches and it stretches around her tummy nicely, as the baby grow she was put in was so tight. I just make sure she doesn't lick as I'm with her always, it works for us both. Can't wait for her to be bouncing around playing again. God bless ✨💛✨
I'm so glad to hear that Tilly had a successful surgery and that she is recovering well. I hope that the surgery helps with those other issues she was encountering before and I'm sure she'll be back to her normal self in no time! Thanks for the message! 😊
Hi! I also have a cavapoo that was just spayed a week ago. Thank you for the informative video. ❤ 🐶 I was also wondering what food you feed Sophie? I have a very picky eater and have tried several foods. Any suggestions would be great!
This was really great, thank you for sharing your experience. Sophie is adorable! Our girl will be getting spayed this week. One of the aftercare recommendations is to avoid stairs. We have three steps down to our door to go outside. Did you have to deal with that too, and did it cause any issues for you? Just wondering if I should be carrying her up and down those steps every time she needs to go potty.
I'm glad our video was helpful. You do definitely want to avoid stairs during the healing process, when it came to going up and down stairs (regardless of whether it was outside or inside) I just carried Sophie. She's a very curious and energetic puppy and I didn't want her getting hurt while healing up from her surgery so I always had her on a leash outside and when it was time to go inside I would lift her up the stairs on our deck so she wouldn't have to jump (the leash helped prevent any excited jumping up stairs). I didn't find it was an issue, you just have to keep an eye out because your puppy may reach a point where they feel like they can jump and climb but it's still too early in the recovery time. I hope this helps and I hope your puppy has a speedy recovery.
My vet said stairs are fine, even jumping on the bed. When we came home from the surgery my dog went up the stairs fine. When we went inside the house she jumped on the bed.
Noodle is going for her spay surgery tomorrow. She used to sleep in her crate with a blanket covering it. Maybe your baby will do better if you put a blanket covering over the crate completely so that she is not distracted. Noodle is 8 months old and sleeps in a 4 panel pen but it’s a bit too roomy so I’ll have to go back and placing her into the crate. I’ll see how that goes. Poor babies, I’m laying in bed feeling lil anxious. 😢
My 10 pound mini was quite spent. Yep second day no sleep. 4th day better. I used a surgery suit. We still on day 4 right now. I know it’s best but I hated this for my girl. I got her she was in heat took her to vet they put me out a month cause of heat. She ended up still in heat a month later. Hoping there’s goes well great sharing 👍
My vet told me the cone wasn't necessary unless my pup started licking a lot. I think it was a lot more comfortable without the cone. My pup is on day 3 and I'm having trouble keeping her mellow. She wants to be active and jump on the sofa.
That's awesome that your puppy was able to make it through recovery without needing the cone and that she was more comfortable. I can totally understand the struggle of keeping an active puppy calm, I would definitely recommend some puzzle toys or snuffle mats (gives them that mental exercise without the physical exertion). I wish you and your puppy all the best! 😊
I found a video on U Tube. It was a vet showing how to make a surgery recovery suit fron a babys ONESIE I made my pup 3. Started her wearing them a month before surgery. ...she is a Karen who dislikes change. Anyway. Shes used to it now... only tore up 2 of them 😆 Spay surgery is tomorrow. 7 month old CHORKIE
There has been debates weather or not spraying or neutering your animals early disrupts their hormones in development. Causing physiological issues down the line. Vs waiting till they are over the age of 6 to spay or neuter after their growth hormones have developed. There is also the ethical/political view in overpopulation and being “responsible” pet owners. Really an interesting topic to consider.
I would personally wait to have it done for health reasons. I’ve personally seen negative effects from dogs getting fixed too early,from weak bones to hormonal issues like females acting like males and vice versa.
I’m stressed to get my dog spayed. She’s 4 and I’m so scared for her recovery. She’s a Maltese and has never been through anything requiring to be put down
I was worried with Sophie as well but our vet was really good with answering all of my questions and going over what the surgery entails and her recovery. Have you voiced any of your concerns with your vet so you can feel a little better with the surgery? I know it's a big deal having your pet go in for a surgery especially when they've never had one before, I hope it all goes well and that she has a speedy recovery. 😊
I hate animal but I am not cruel. My sister dump a dog on me. An 8 month old(perhaps), dog. The dog is not neutered and I obviously didnt like having puppies. I am terrified of what to expect to care for a dog getting surgery. I hope from this video, that dog doing well for the spay. I respect people who love animals are helping their pets recovering instead of enjoying only the good stuff❤
I bought a pink donut for Noodle, from Amazon And have put it on her a few times preparing her for after surgery And she loves it, it has its own pillow. Is there a way to send a picture?
Thanks for this great info. I will be spaying my Yorkie in April. I asked the Vet how long should I wait to spay her and he said 8 months. I will he spaying her in April.
Here because i’ve only had male Siberian Huskies. Nanook died a few months ago and someone has reached out with a female. Not sure what it’s like to raise a non spayed or spayed dog.
My dog spayed aftr 5 days wound open then we bring her to vet another stiches antibiotic and admitted for 6days, when we bring her home aftr 5 hrs it leaks and vet said if bandage fell off bring her again to vet. Its her 12days now and why is it like unhealed
Hi I got my first ever puppy she is a cockapoo and I plan to get her spayed around 6 or 7 months I'm worried she will cry did the veterinary give you any like dog or puppy Tylenol meds for pain do they even make Tylenol for dogs if they do I want to make sure my baby is as comfortable as possible and not in pain because when I think about it I feel so sad cause it's like cutting or mutilating your own bead even though it not really yours but you know what i mean anyways it has to be done because I don't want an unexpected litter and dont want to put her through that either are there any other tips you have ?❤
My vets insist you can only get your dogs spayed at past 2 years, because if not it could cause issues in the future, it might me different for you but that’s how we are doing it, my 4 year old lab is getting spayed on the 6th of November and we are nervous for her.
Didn't the vet give you pain meds for her? That crying at night very well could have been from pain My vet sends us home with 4 days of pain meds for them after spay
The vet did give us medication for Sophie and as you probably saw in the video she was a pro at taking it but it wasn’t for four days. I guess every vet has a different recovery process for spay surgeries.
I'm so glad you found our video helpful and that it made you feel better prepared. Here in this video, Sophie was 10lbs and now at a year old I'm not too sure (we've got a vet appointment in a month to find that out), but I think she's probably around 13lbs. Best of luck with your puppy's surgery!
Is this is for them to not get pregnant right? My dog has her surgery tomorrow she's getting her hernia remove and spay surgery she already had puppies last august but I heard they die if you spay them ? Is it really true?
No, it’s quite the opposite, actually. Spaying and neutering dogs is supposed to help prevent diseases and infections that occur in those areas. But you must monitor your dog to make sure they don’t scratch or lick the area after the surgery.
3 months after 1st period is the scientific data in the veterinary field as this ensures full sexual maturity and growth. Spaying earlier before full development often leads to arthritis and other problems.
My pup just got spayed a couple days ago. The hardest thing is denying her play 😞 she got pretty mad today too about the cone and restriction in her pen
Oh my goodness, that was the same as Sophie! After they move past the first days of pain and they're ready to play but they can't, it's so sad. I felt like I was denying Sophie of her fun time, but once she was all cleared to play she was so ecstatic! Hang in there!
I guess different vets have different ways of performing this surgery. I actually thought that we would have to keep her overnight, but we just had to drop her off in the morning and then could pick her up anytime in the afternoon before the vet closed for the night.
Wow my dog is doing the same thing where she is like falling asleep standing up. Very helpful as my 12 year old puppy just got fixed today and I was a nervous wreck
I'm so happy to hear that our video has helped you with your puppy, I know it can be very stressful especially seeing your puppy uncomfortable or lethargic. I wish your puppy a speedy recovery! 😊
Why are you keeping your dog in a crate? I don't know why people do this. I've had dogs all of my life and never once raised one in a crate. I think this is some new idea and I really don't understand it at all. If my dog had cried all night, I would have been on the phone to the vet asking if this is normal. It could be she is relating the crate to the cage at the vet. I hope she is okay now.
Grandeur Valley Puppies! They have many five star reviews,(including my own) and I have been to the farm/property myself. It is impeccably clean and the puppies are loved and cared for. Its everything you would want for your puppy to be.
Sophie's crate is 24" long by 17" wide by 19" high. We had a divider in it to make the crate smaller for her but we took it out when she got her spay surgery here.
Of course a vet will be pro...that's part of their revenue. As far as I know, you want them to go through one cycle first, but it is conflicting information. I just know that a vet is biased.
Send us any questions you may have about our spay surgery experience and leave us a comment or any tips!
Hey what kinda food you give for her

@@BULEMaia What do you mean?
That's not true. You need to educate yourself and watch Dr. Becker and Dr. Jones.

You can usually feed them coconut oil (solid coconut oil that you warm up)
What age was the soonest you could get your shorkie spayed?...
It’s okay to let your dog sleep out of the crate. They should graduate from sleeping in a crate at night to having a bed on the floor. It’s a good thing! Our pup stopped sleeping in her crate at 6months of age. The crate will always be there if needed.
what a sweetheart, hope she's doing okay!
Where did you get the harness dress? I love it and your video. My baby goes for surgery today!
I take cones off for potty, play, sleep and cuddles. All the time Im closely supervising, the pup doesnt have an opportunity to nibble the wound, so give them a break from a cone. Honestly cones cause more stress for some dogs, so look into a post-surgery onesie or a soft cone
I learn so much from you with Sophie thank you so much 🌲🙏🏽
I am so happy to hear that Sophie and I have helped you! 😊
Great video . Could you please share where you got the pink harness she has on .
She looks like my Tilly and my Tilly is 9½yrs and only now just had it done. I left it as long as I felt I could, for her bones. I didn't want her to be open to osteoporosis when older. That was my personal choice though. She is well and happy we are on day two. Bit uncomfortable but done all the bodily needs and has had a few tiny walks. Eating really well. Had to get it done now because she gets so hormonal and has been having fake pregnancies last few times. Also had a few little seizures which I know are due to hormones. I put a neck scarf band, a cotton one over her stitches and it stretches around her tummy nicely, as the baby grow she was put in was so tight. I just make sure she doesn't lick as I'm with her always, it works for us both. Can't wait for her to be bouncing around playing again.
God bless ✨💛✨
I'm so glad to hear that Tilly had a successful surgery and that she is recovering well. I hope that the surgery helps with those other issues she was encountering before and I'm sure she'll be back to her normal self in no time! Thanks for the message! 😊
Hi! I also have a cavapoo that was just spayed a week ago. Thank you for the informative video. ❤ 🐶
I was also wondering what food you feed Sophie? I have a very picky eater and have tried several foods. Any suggestions would be great!
Her cries broke my heart poor baby 😢
This was really great, thank you for sharing your experience. Sophie is adorable!
Our girl will be getting spayed this week. One of the aftercare recommendations is to avoid stairs. We have three steps down to our door to go outside. Did you have to deal with that too, and did it cause any issues for you? Just wondering if I should be carrying her up and down those steps every time she needs to go potty.
I'm glad our video was helpful. You do definitely want to avoid stairs during the healing process, when it came to going up and down stairs (regardless of whether it was outside or inside) I just carried Sophie. She's a very curious and energetic puppy and I didn't want her getting hurt while healing up from her surgery so I always had her on a leash outside and when it was time to go inside I would lift her up the stairs on our deck so she wouldn't have to jump (the leash helped prevent any excited jumping up stairs). I didn't find it was an issue, you just have to keep an eye out because your puppy may reach a point where they feel like they can jump and climb but it's still too early in the recovery time. I hope this helps and I hope your puppy has a speedy recovery.
My vet said stairs are fine, even jumping on the bed. When we came home from the surgery my dog went up the stairs fine. When we went inside the house she jumped on the bed.
Noodle is going for her spay surgery tomorrow. She used to sleep in her crate with a blanket covering it. Maybe your baby will do better if you put a blanket covering over the crate completely so that she is not distracted.
Noodle is 8 months old and sleeps in a 4 panel pen but it’s a bit too roomy so I’ll have to go back and placing her into the crate. I’ll see how that goes. Poor babies, I’m laying in bed feeling lil anxious. 😢
Thank you SO much for sharing!
My 10 pound mini was quite spent. Yep second day no sleep. 4th day better. I used a surgery suit. We still on day 4 right now. I know it’s best but I hated this for my girl. I got her she was in heat took her to vet they put me out a month cause of heat. She ended up still in heat a month later. Hoping there’s goes well great sharing 👍
My vet told me the cone wasn't necessary unless my pup started licking a lot. I think it was a lot more comfortable without the cone. My pup is on day 3 and I'm having trouble keeping her mellow. She wants to be active and jump on the sofa.
That's awesome that your puppy was able to make it through recovery without needing the cone and that she was more comfortable. I can totally understand the struggle of keeping an active puppy calm, I would definitely recommend some puzzle toys or snuffle mats (gives them that mental exercise without the physical exertion). I wish you and your puppy all the best! 😊
My vet gave the puppy a sedative but I break the Trazadone pill in half because it’s strong stuff
Thank you.. this really helped
My baby last week was just sleeping and she didn’t eat the first night till the next morning
My dog is getting surgery tomorrow. He is 3 years old and I am very nervous about his
survival.
I found a video on U Tube. It was a vet showing how to make a surgery recovery suit fron a babys ONESIE
I made my pup 3. Started her wearing them a month before surgery. ...she is a Karen who dislikes change.
Anyway. Shes used to it now... only tore up 2 of them 😆
Spay surgery is tomorrow.
7 month old CHORKIE
There has been debates weather or not spraying or neutering your animals early disrupts their hormones in development. Causing physiological issues down the line. Vs waiting till they are over the age of 6 to spay or neuter after their growth hormones have developed. There is also the ethical/political view in overpopulation and being “responsible” pet owners. Really an interesting topic to consider.
I would personally wait to have it done for health reasons. I’ve personally seen negative effects from dogs getting fixed too early,from weak bones to hormonal issues like females acting like males and vice versa.
I’m stressed to get my dog spayed. She’s 4 and I’m so scared for her recovery. She’s a Maltese and has never been through anything requiring to be put down
I was worried with Sophie as well but our vet was really good with answering all of my questions and going over what the surgery entails and her recovery. Have you voiced any of your concerns with your vet so you can feel a little better with the surgery? I know it's a big deal having your pet go in for a surgery especially when they've never had one before, I hope it all goes well and that she has a speedy recovery. 😊
Hey Sharon hope everything went well with your dog 🐶..I have a poodle and a Maltese 🐶🐶
My son bought a baby onsie for Mila to wear instead of cone. Worked well. Could sleep easily
That's great! I definitely wish I had tried out something a little different, like a recovery vest for Sophie.
I hate animal but I am not cruel. My sister dump a dog on me. An 8 month old(perhaps), dog. The dog is not neutered and I obviously didnt like having puppies. I am terrified of what to expect to care for a dog getting surgery. I hope from this video, that dog doing well for the spay. I respect people who love animals are helping their pets recovering instead of enjoying only the good stuff❤
When did you take off the cone completely?
I'm worried of leaving my dog after operation since I have work and no one to look after her at home 🥺
I bought a pink donut for Noodle, from Amazon And have put it on her a few times preparing her for after surgery And she loves it, it has its own pillow. Is there a way to send a picture?
Thanks for this great info. I will be spaying my Yorkie in April. I asked the Vet how long should I wait to spay her and he said 8 months. I will he spaying her in April.
Here because i’ve only had male Siberian Huskies. Nanook died a few months ago and someone has reached out with a female. Not sure what it’s like to raise a non spayed or spayed dog.
Omg I have a cavapoo too and she looks just like yours
my puppy got spayed 2 days ago, and hasn’t made any bowel movement since yesterday around 4:00 pm. anything i should be worried about?
I would definitely give your vet a call if you have any concerns, they should be able to provide you with any help or tips with recovery.
Hey what kinda food you give for your dog
My dog spayed aftr 5 days wound open then we bring her to vet another stiches antibiotic and admitted for 6days, when we bring her home aftr 5 hrs it leaks and vet said if bandage fell off bring her again to vet. Its her 12days now and why is it like unhealed
Hi I got my first ever puppy she is a cockapoo and I plan to get her spayed around 6 or 7 months I'm worried she will cry did the veterinary give you any like dog or puppy Tylenol meds for pain do they even make Tylenol for dogs if they do I want to make sure my baby is as comfortable as possible and not in pain because when I think about it I feel so sad cause it's like cutting or mutilating your own bead even though it not really yours but you know what i mean anyways it has to be done because I don't want an unexpected litter and dont want to put her through that either are there any other tips you have ?❤
My vets insist you can only get your dogs spayed at past 2 years, because if not it could cause issues in the future, it might me different for you but that’s how we are doing it, my 4 year old lab is getting spayed on the 6th of November and we are nervous for her.
My 2 year old goldendoodle is abt to be spayed! I’m so nervous.
@@kalikali157 it will be alright don’t worry! ❤️
My cavapoo is having hers tomorrow bless her but now i know what to expect and it might not be as bad as i though
Can you recommend a good Breeder on Long Island to purchase a cavapoo!
Yes you helped me
Thank you
How long(hours) before ahe start to eat again?
Is 10 month old pocket bully good age to spayed your dog
Didn't the vet give you pain meds for her?
That crying at night very well could have been from pain
My vet sends us home with 4 days of pain meds for them after spay
The vet did give us medication for Sophie and as you probably saw in the video she was a pro at taking it but it wasn’t for four days. I guess every vet has a different recovery process for spay surgeries.
How much does Sophie weigh? This video has been so helpful as my little girls surgery is next week and I didn’t know what to expect.
I'm so glad you found our video helpful and that it made you feel better prepared. Here in this video, Sophie was 10lbs and now at a year old I'm not too sure (we've got a vet appointment in a month to find that out), but I think she's probably around 13lbs. Best of luck with your puppy's surgery!
My gsd mix loved her cone for some reason
Awe my baby is on day 3 and she is exactly on the same steps as your pup
It sounds like she's recovering well!
@@NessaandSophie Yes!! Day 14 today, whew thank God that’s over. lol.
I would spay at two years old or after two heat cycles,doing it before will screw up your dog physically and hormonal for life.
And you’re a vet?! 🙄
Not true. Did it at 5 months with my Shihpoo girl. Healed well and no issues.
@@nataliehernandez3387thank you for this i got scared
@@nataliehernandez3387yeah right check back when she’s mid age you’ll start seeing problems down the line
@@j_j9902 my dog is now 10 years old. No issues! Happy and healthy so yeah😁😁
what size is your crate?
Is this is for them to not get pregnant right? My dog has her surgery tomorrow she's getting her hernia remove and spay surgery she already had puppies last august but I heard they die if you spay them ? Is it really true?
No, it’s quite the opposite, actually. Spaying and neutering dogs is supposed to help prevent diseases and infections that occur in those areas. But you must monitor your dog to make sure they don’t scratch or lick the area after the surgery.
What kind of medicine was you giving her,
3 months after 1st period is the scientific data in the veterinary field as this ensures full sexual maturity and growth. Spaying earlier before full development often leads to arthritis and other problems.
3 days went great day 4 now my dog the last 3 hours is pacing around so tired but wont lay down
If you're worried try checking in with your vet, just in case. I wish your dog a speedy recovery. 😊
What had happened to him? All well?
My pup just got spayed a couple days ago. The hardest thing is denying her play 😞 she got pretty mad today too about the cone and restriction in her pen
Oh my goodness, that was the same as Sophie! After they move past the first days of pain and they're ready to play but they can't, it's so sad. I felt like I was denying Sophie of her fun time, but once she was all cleared to play she was so ecstatic! Hang in there!
@@NessaandSophie thank you so much 😊 your video helped my anxiety about it
@@Jubilee34364 I'm so happy to hear that our video helped!
Hi, how is your dog please, I'm so worried to spay my dog ,
Did you have to have Sophie kept at the vet because our vet said we had to keep her at the vet overnight
I guess different vets have different ways of performing this surgery. I actually thought that we would have to keep her overnight, but we just had to drop her off in the morning and then could pick her up anytime in the afternoon before the vet closed for the night.
Wow my dog is doing the same thing where she is like falling asleep standing up. Very helpful as my 12 year old puppy just got fixed today and I was a nervous wreck
I'm so happy to hear that our video has helped you with your puppy, I know it can be very stressful especially seeing your puppy uncomfortable or lethargic. I wish your puppy a speedy recovery! 😊
Why are you keeping your dog in a crate? I don't know why people do this. I've had dogs all of my life and never once raised one in a crate. I think this is some new idea and I really don't understand it at all. If my dog had cried all night, I would have been on the phone to the vet asking if this is normal. It could be she is relating the crate to the cage at the vet. I hope she is okay now.
Exacly i never have my dog in a crate that’s giving jail vibes. Idk it’s weird to me
I have been looking for a Cavapoo male pup. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good breeder?
Grandeur Valley Puppies! They have many five star reviews,(including my own) and I have been to the farm/property myself. It is impeccably clean and the puppies are loved and cared for. Its everything you would want for your puppy to be.
What about growing hormones it seems young to me 6 months thats all
Why do you keep her inside the cage ?
What size is the crate?
Sophie's crate is 24" long by 17" wide by 19" high. We had a divider in it to make the crate smaller for her but we took it out when she got her spay surgery here.
@@NessaandSophie what brand is Sophie’s crate
Her crate is from MidWest.
I’ve never seen a cavapoo that looks so much like mine and cries the exact same it’s scary haha
❤
Mine was fine after 2 days back to total normal
That's awesome!
thank you so much for this, my 5 month old puppy is getting spayed today and i was kinda scared but this comforted me thank you. 🤍
I always let my dog sleep on the floor in a dog bed never liked the crates
Wow😢
ugh im nervous
My vet said, get your dog spade after the first heat.
Aweeeeeee
Halfway through the video I had to stop a min..this dog was obviously in pain poor baby
No!! No Med from her vet ?? Hello that’s crazy !!!
maybe when she cries she was in pain? Get better Sophie :) :) Scratch around the wound... it probably gets very itchy
I will definitely try that out. Thanks 😊
Why so young?
Of course a vet will be pro...that's part of their revenue. As far as I know, you want them to go through one cycle first, but it is conflicting information. I just know that a vet is biased.
Put your puppy in a babies onesie upside down and get rid of that horrible cone !!!
