ok so my doe, Poppy, was spayed on Monday. Picked her up and she was quiet as I expected. Since then she has only eaten one little bit of veg and the tiniest amount of water. It’s now Day 3.
She pooped a little yesterday but they were smaller than usual then last night she had a large lump of squishy poop stuck to her. She got super distressed when I tried to clean her and managed to wriggle our of her surgical shirt. She is now refusing to let me close enough to her for a look at her bottom and tummy. Will her incision be ok not covered? She doesn’t appear to be scratching it or going for her stitches.
She’s still much quieter than normal and I’m really worried about her. I have follow up vet appt tomorrow, but I’m thinking maybe I need to take her sooner?
Vet gave 1.4 of metacalm each morning and I’ve done my best to give her it today but she’s really not wanting to be picked up so.
I’ve never had a doe before, gratefulfir any advice.
Thank you.
