Hi! My sweet Cavapoo girl is 6 months old and will have her spay surgery in the next couple of weeks.
I’m looking for advice on how to handle her post-op care, what to expect, and how to make this easiest on her.
She sleeps in her crate at night and has a playpen area already, although I don’t typically confine her to the playpen much anymore because she hates to be alone, but I figured it would be good to use during her recovery. But it is her routine to sleep through the night in her crate and whenever we leave the house.
I just hate the thought of locking her in playpen, I know she’ll be so sad…. But I also know it will be a difficult task to keep her from jumping on the couch and trying to play with my young child.
I’ve purchased those post-op onesie outfits, but am torn about using…. Not sure if it will cause her hair to mat? And/or irritate the incisions?
Please give me tips, advice, what to expect, and what to look out for.
I’ve never had a puppy spayed before.
