We had our pup, Nora (9m), spayed on Friday. All our other pets have come already altered, so this has been a first time experience for me. She was a little groggy when I picked her up Friday afternoon and couldn't walk completely straight, but seemed fine when we got home. They said to try and keep her still & quiet for a week! LOL! We've done our best to keep the dogs separated for the last few days (a lot easier to do with crates!) and they've been okay with that. They play/fight pretty rough and I'm sure Nora's sore. I haven't given her any of the pain pills they Rx'd because it's Rimadyl and I remember reading some pretty bad stuff about that. I tried to talk to the vet about it, but they didn't know what I was talking about and didn't seem very willing to give us something else. I figured I'd fight it if she really seemed to need it, but she's not whimpered at all and still bounces around and plays like nothing happened. I hope we're doing the right thing.
