So glad to hear things went well for Tonka.
It is amazing how fast they bounce back. I'm sure you are like me and glad the whole ordeal is over. It is like one of my children(human)when they are sick.

So glad to hear all is going well. (I don't know how I missed this thread when you first posted, but some how some way I did, so I am getting all caught up on it all now!) I like the shirt idea instead of the E collar, but I still think Merley would have found her way around it. I had bruises all up and down my legs from her accidentally running into me with the edges of the E collar! Although, I do bruise easily.

I'm sure it worked great for the people that tried it here on the site. Hopefully they will chime in.

Poor Tonka but it is good that she is home...she will be drowsy and out of sorts I am sure but I am sure with your watchful eye she will recover wonderfully!!

Hi,
That may be the anesthesia wearing off or Tonka may be cold. Danes chill very easily after surgery. If the shaking hasn't stopped by now and your concerned, call your vet. Tonka may also be in pain. Ask for pain medicine while your on the phone with him.
I hope your evening goes well. Please keep us posted.

she's home. she won't even get on the couch! poor thing.. she's just laing on the floor. her stitches dissolve so i dont have to go back. the vet lady said to come back tomorrow if she needs the cone but to try without since theres always someone home with her.
is she supposed to be shaking so much?? shes shaking pretty badly.

Does the TShirt idea really work, Indy is probably going to be spayed sometime in the next month a half, as she is going to be 11 months, I just know she is going to be a little pill with the incision sight, even though they stitch on the inside, and the staples are not visble.

I know some people just put a T-shirt on their females to keep them away from the incision. I think we even have some pictures posted somewhere on here. I'm sure things will go great. It's the waiting and then keeping them calm afterwards, that seems to be the worst part. Before you know it she'll be back to herself. Keep us posted

I look forward to hearing your update.
The cone is a good idea as you don't want her licking or biting at the incision site.

I dropped her off at the vet today. She was happy she loves the vet people.. maybe until after today!! She weighed in at 94.4 pounds and she is 8 and a half months almost. Is that big? She's gained 20 pounds from the last time she was at the vet, about a month and a half ago.
So hope the surgery goes well, I know her momma passed away from uterus problems when her pups were only a couple weeks old.. probably from having puppies but they never found out what actually caused it so...
