Spay

Hey!

Lily is going to be spayed tomorrow....poor baby !

I'm worried about her running around and opening the stitches, she loves to play with Jimmy, our Basset Hound. As you know basset are short but heavy....

I know...her crate will be the best place to keep her in, but will she feel comfortable in there using the "cone" ?Should I keep it in her during the night?

For me the main thing was to prevent the running too much but that really wasn't a problem especially with a kennel or a fence....the 1st day they were too groggy to want to play! Good luck she'll be better in no time!

Our male is getting snipped on Monday, he may be another story.... we will see..

Comment by Sam Tsang on September 22, 2010 at 6:27pm: Hi Renata, the main thing is keep the area dry & clean, due to the nature of the incision, it is usually at a place where she can't reach, however, some corgis do manage to get at the stitches, invest in an inflatable cone and she'll be more comfortable to sleep while wearing it and maneuver better. It is hard to say if she'll be comfortable in her sleep without knowing the size of the crate. Most likely she'll do just fine, especially with Rx. Good luck and get well soon!
