I've had to look after a 'freshly' desexed girl...
poor little thing was doey as all get out when I got her home...
after a few hours she got back to normal - but put on the biggest sook show...limping around...whining...lookin at me as if to say "this is all just too painful aunty kb!"
I took her back to the vet just to make sure, and she said "no, it's okay - she's just being a wuss."
I left her sleep for a few more hours...woke up and was like a ping pong ball! I had to keep confining her so she wouldn't rip her stiches out.
Nothing like a nap to forget about the big act lol
