[QUOTE="donna723, post: 484526, member: 1883"] That's exactly how mine behaved when they were spayed and it's perfectly normal. She's just groggy from the anesthesia and they may have given her a bit of pain medicine too. Mine mostly stayed in their crates and slept it off that first day. They would get up to potty or get a drink of water but they weren't too interested in eating the first day. By the second day they were a lot more active and by the third day they were pretty much back to normal but I would try to keep her fairly quiet for the first several days, no strenuous running, etc. As long as she's drinking water she's fine. She probably won't be interested in eating the first day but if she is, her regular food will be fine. Of course, you can give her the boiled chicken and rice (rice can be made with chicken broth instead of water) but it's not necessary. She'll eat when she's hungry and feels like eating. The chicken and rice is a very bland food that people feed when the dog has had stomach or digestive problems but it's not really necessary after surgery. Give her a day or two and she'll be back to normal. [/QUOTE]
