Bisou was spayed about a month ago. Physically she seemed to be fine and was jumping around like her normal self (despite our trying to keep her calm) within a few days, but the cough she had for the first 2-3 days afterwards killed me. It was bad enough that I snuck her into my work office with me and kept her under my desk to make sure she was going to be okay. The vet assured me it was normal from putting the tube down her throat, and I'm not suggesting they did anything wrong at all, but seeing her struggle like that broke my heart. She also had hernia surgery at the same time, so that may have made things more complicated, I don't know. I do know that she would not eat her food, even though they told me to feed her. I gave her some peanut butter a couple of times that afternoon, which she greedily scarfed down, and then she was fine to eat the next day. I'd say that she was a little off her game for the first two days, but by day three her actions were back to normal. Oh, I do want to mention that she did seem to have a fluid lump near the incision area, which made me panic a little, but I googled it and found that that's also normal. It went away about a week later and you can't even see her scar now. I think it's probably worse for us than it is for them.
