Taking dogs to the vet for a spay or neuter surgery is just a common trip for me. I'm probably in there at least once or twice a month with a dog needing to be altered so I'm pretty aware of what they act like post surgery and what their recovery time looks likes.
From the moment I took Coho home I could tell that her pain level was not typical. She had received a 24 hour pain shot and then came home with some pain meds but still, she could barely keep herself in standing position and was doing a lot of moaning. It was worrisome although her incision looked great, there was no weird swelling, and she did eat some wet food with water mixed. When the next morning she was still barely able to move without moaning, I talked with the vet. A stronger pain med was prescribed and at dinner time that day she got a dose of the new med.

What a difference. By about 30 minutes after dinner she was wagging her tail, walking around and then before we could stop her, she jumped up on the couch to get some attention from Troy and a few kisses in. Thank God for pain meds! We'll be keeping her on the Rimadyl for a few more days as she continues to heal from the spay. AND she has some good news that we'll be announcing in a few days.
