I love my little lady so so much and we just got her home from getting spayed. The vet was happy with how the procedure went and she woke up calmly and was her polite lovely self, but she's so uncomfortable and I just feel terrible.
It was definitely unrealistic in retrospect, but I thought she would come home and be kind of goofy like the videos of dogs you see post-op online. She's just disoriented and too exhausted to hold her head up and occasionally makes the saddest little whines and whimpers I've ever heard.
We have multiple varieties of cones and recovery suits and have everything set up for her recovery. I know getting her spayed was the best choice for her and for us, and that she'll get better everyday, but I'm feeling surprisingly emotional right now.
She's cuddled up next to me, finally snoozing peacefully, but I just feel like I'm on the verge of tears. I feel silly about it but I'm a little emotionally overwhelmed and just wanted to get it off my chest.
