Answer #3

ditto to sshaw, and I would be on the phone with the vet that you went to for them tolook at her again.

Answer #4

no just take her to the vet again

Answer #5

I would check back with the vet again just to be sure of what to do. In the meantime, don’t give egg yolks, they will probably do nothing more than make her sick. Instead of regular dog food, try to give her either chicken or turkey stage 1 baby food. This is easier on her stomach and she is less likely to get sick. Also, you need to make sure she is drinking water, evern if you have to force her to drink it. Give her tiny squirts of water from a syringe every now and then to make sure she stays hydrated.

Keep a close eye on her incision. If it becomes red, puffy or starts draining, take her to the vet immediately. This could mean that she has a major infection inside her that could potentially kill her. Also keep a close eye on her gums. As long as they stay a healthy pink color, she should be fine. If you have any more questions or just want to chat about her, feel free to funmail me. I work at a vet’s office so I know what you are dealing with.

Best of luck! Sam
