Roxy was spayed yesterday. We picked her up from the vet about 3 hours ago and she's acting like she normally does. I was actually surprised when I first saw her because I assumed she would look drowsy and hunched over, but she looked like she normally does.
She's pooped a little and she's eaten her greens and a piece of banana but hasn't touched her pellets yet.
The only thing that concerns me are her stitches. She's been grooming herself and I'm afraid she'll pull out her stitches. I would have preferred the internal kind with nothing on the outside for her to grab on to but it never occurred to me to ask what kind of stitches they would use.
If I notice her paying attention to them I try and distract her, but I can't watch her 24/7.
Is she more likely to pull them out during the first couple days post surgery or later in the healing process???
