All responsible pet owners should spay and neuter your pets at the appropriate age to do so. SO many pets leave a shelter without a home and end up never getting the chance to live life to its fullest. Spaying and neutering your pet can be quite an experience for you and your pet but with a little TLC and time, everything turns out just fine and for the better! I thought we'd share each of our pup's personal experiences.
Nanook's thrilled face. I didn't know what to do with him after the surgery since he was our first dog. I placed him on a sanitary blanket in the middle of our living room floor and surrounded him with toys even though he could care less due to all the drugs he was on lol. I was terrified like the first time a new mother has a sick baby.
August didn't take too well to "THE CONE!" so she sufficed with being a couch potato for 3 days under close watch. We noticed wet spots on the couch shortly after the surgery and this led us to believe Nanook was "peeing on her" in her sleep lol. Come to find out the spay made her temporarily incontinent for a week through a UTI.
Kodak didn't need a cone for even one day. He rode in the back seat like a trooper and healed like a trooper. He never once licked the incision, licked the bandage or even licked the incision after what we thought was a hernia and had to reopen him!. Tough little man.
Dublin had "THE CONE" for more than what was necessary. She wore the cone, she ate the cone, she licked the cone, she destroyed the cone. And once she was all healed up, she developed a hot spot on her leg and wore one again, ate it again, oh you get the point. lol.
Overall each and every dog did a fabulous job with their spay/neuter and we as parents felt we were being responsible in doing so. Pull a Bob Barker and Spay and Neuter YOUR pet!
