I like it too.

Pretty doggies.

Thanks.
Hopefully it gets better in a couple weeks when she gets free roam and run and play with LuLu.
LuLu & Lily (tongue twister) and no we did not name them. They were already named when we adopted them.

Getting a little concerned.
Pup hasn't pooped in a couple days.
Is that common with a spay (surgery)?
Appetite is good.

I think the anesthesia constipates both humans & animals. Try giving her some canned pumpkin or even some cooked sweet potato. Make sure she drinks plenty of water, too.

When we first got home from the vet (after the spay), she took a dump that was a little bit of diarrhea. So I scooped it up and took it back to the vet to get analyzed. Come to find out she has Coccidia (parasite), have her on meds for that and also giving her FortiFlora for the diarrhea.

Well, new Pup got too excited and blew an artery (something like that) at her incision.
I stopped the bleeding with her lying down but every time she got up she would start bleeding again.

F.
She did it again.
Last two times she was in her crate pawing at the bedding and next thing I see blood dripping.
We wrapped it and got the blood to stop flowing, but she will be going to the vet in the morning, even though we don't have an appointment.

Is she bleeding from her spay incission? If so and if you have a 6" ace wrap...take a small hand towel, place it over he incission, and wrap the ace wrap around her to hold it in place and apply some pressure at the same time. But not too must pressure.

Sounds like there is a small artery that refuses to heal!

Good luck!! You are a good "Dad'!!!

That is what we have done, now.
Only time she started bleeding is when I took off the wrap, to let the incision get some air & heal.
Didn't like keeping the wrap on too long.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry your new furbaby is going through so much; glad you're there to tend to her and get her the care she needs.
May she live long and prosper! :yahoo:

You can also use an old tee-shirt..put it on backwards..tail thru the neck..and you can snug it up to keep pressure on the incission.
Her hind legs thru the arms...moderate pressure is fine, as it will not hurt/hinder the wound or abdominal circulation.

It is just like a compression dressing on a belly wound.
The incission does not need air, it needs to clot.

Good luck at the vet!!!!:buddies:
