still acting crazy after being spayed 1 week ago!

[Stacy Deitrich]

Rosie was spayed a week ago tomorrow.  She still isn't herself!  Anyone else have issues after their dog was spayed?  Rosie is 7 months old.

Well, could it be a coincidence that has nothing to do with spaying and everything to do with being a 7 month old puppy? They do get a bit crazier and more outgoing as they approach 1 year old--just a thought. You don't really know who Rosie is yet--she is still going through phases.

[Stacy Deitrich]

I guess I should clarify... she will only eat or drink if I bring it ti her on the couch. She didnt even get off the couch today when my son came home from school. She will occassionaly freak out, as if she had been stung by a bee. She wont come for treats.... etc. Something just isnt righy. :(

It almost sounds like her stitches are too tight or pulling or something.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Yep, I agree.  I think you should call the vet or take her in.

[Amber (with Maggie)]

I had Maggie fixed at 6 months. She didn't respond that way at all and was up and trying to run around after 1 day (we wouldn't let her). After a week she was fairly normal and wanted to play ball, would follow us around the house and tried to jump up on us. It really sounds like something went wrong with your puppies operation :( Can you get her some more pain meds for another couple of days?

[Ginny Nightingale]

OH! That is totally a different story! I get it now and would be VERY concerned--They should bounce right back and show no discomfort at all after just a few days or sometimes even the next day as Amber said--call the vet!

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

Sounds like something isn't right.  I think you should call the vet.  The bee sting things sounds like pain and I don't think she should be hurting after a week.  Like Maggie, Seda was herself as soon as I stopped the pain meds on day two.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Poor baby, call the Vet for sure. Daisy was fine even the next day.

I believe you when you say, somethings wrong.  Don't be afraid to go back.  This really is long enough. You should not have that much of a personality change in this short of time.

I know you took her back to the vet on Sunday (?) and they said she was fine.  Follow your gut and TAKE HER BACK, again!

Tell them, " Somethings Wrong".  That is enough said. 

Maybe it is hormones crashing or maybe it is something else. 

I am so sorry that you and your dog are going through this.  Please drop me a note and let me know how it is going. 

[Stacy Deitrich]

I feel like the vet thinks I'm crazy!  I took her in Sunday and they glued her incision.  I took her Monday and they re stitched her incision.  I took her Tuesday and they gave me antibiotics.  I'm almost took her back today because she still isn't being herself.  She still will only eat and drink if I bring her food to the couch for her.  And today, when my son came home and she didn't budge it really scared me.  She just seems lifeless today....  I did call the vet and they aren't too concerned.  Even though she has discharge from the site.  They said if it is infected that the antibiotics will help.  I made a call to another local vet today.  They agreed that this is not right.  I'm going to give the antibiotics a chance to work and see if this gets better. 

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Personally I think you should stick with your gut and go to the other vet.  What is happening to the incision? It doesn't sound like she has been very active and the incision isn't holding.  Between my 2 and the fosters I've had that have been fixed while here, they have acted like crazy dogs and I've not had busted stitches.  Might be time for another opinion from a different vet.

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

time for a second opinion...  IMO:)
