My Chloe going to be spayed today. Is it worse than neutering?

[QUOTE="donna723, post: 592860, member: 1883"] I can't really compare it to neutering because my little Trace was the first male dog I've had in years and he had already been neutered when I got him. Are they keeping her overnight or are you bringing her home after the surgery? In my experience, if everything goes alright, they are much more comfortable at home than staying at the vets overnight ... no need for it really. My girls were always groggy when I brought them home and spent most of that first day sleeping it off in their crates. They might get up a time or two to potty and get a drink of water, not interested in eating. By the second day they were moving around a lot more, eating and drinking normally and a lot more active. By the third day they were wanting to play and going up and down the steps freely. My girls had an incision about 2 inches long. [U][B][I]ALWAYS[/I] ASK THE VET FOR PAIN medications[/B][/U] to give them at home for the first few days! It may cost a little more but they need it. Dogs are instinctively very good at covering it up if they are in pain - an animal that shows weakness in the wild will become a victim. But that doesn't mean that they are not hurting just as much as a person would. Just imagine if YOU had major surgery and were given no pain medications afterwards! [/QUOTE]
