I am having my female dog spayed on Monday. I am concerned she will be in a lot of pain after the op because my last dog was.
When my last dog was spayed she was very sleepy for the first few hours after we bought her home. Then she woke up an staggered out into the garden to relieve herself. After that she was in obvious pain for the rest of the night. She was whistling and panting all night long.
I really do not want this dog to suffer in the same way.
I know she is an animal and they deal with pain differently but I hate to see any animal suffering.
Does any one know of any ways I can minimise her discomfort.
Also stupidly forgot to ask how much it is going to cost me it was 12 years ago when I had Cleo done and it was £100 – any ideas.
She is a big dog 40kg
She is 1 year old.

The vet will give you pain meds for her. Trust me, they keep them pretty comfortable! We had our female spayed in Sept, and with the pain meds she was on, she did fine.
