I'm no expert, but I think dogs can go a day or two without food. And I definitely wouldn't feed her in the middle of the night. You mentioned it's 1:00 a.m.There.It's important she has water, though.
Just let her be comfortable. Make sure the surgical area doesn't look infected. Call your vet if it does.
And help her get outside to relieve herself whenever you think it's been a long enough interval. Let her have a stress-free environment. If she had one of those time-release kind of pain medications before she left the vet's, she's not having it too hard.
Maybe tomorrow spoil her with just a little soft, yummy food she's not usually allowed -- but not more than a few spoonfuls to make sure she can keep it down for a couple hours. I'm a big advocate of healthy foods for dogs, not the chemical-laden stuff at the big box stores.So just take my input with a grain of salt. I'm a bit overboard on pets.
I have a jack russell, but a male. The one thing I have learnt is there is no such thing as 'normal'. When our dog was neutered he didn't eat for five days afterwards.
We made sure we offered him food, but he didn't want it. I certainly shouldn't be worried if she doesn't eat today - she has had a major operation. That's more traumatic for them than we can probably imagine.
I'd be far more concerned if she didn't want the water. But if you're worried the best person to reassure you is your vet - just give them a call.
Yes, it is very normal for her not to want to eat. She just went through major surgery and, just as many humans don't have an appetite after coming out of anesthesia, she has a few reasons to not be very interested in food right now. Keep food available to her and watch her closely, and contact the vet if she doesn't start eating within a couple of days.As long as she's still drinking plenty of water, a little while without eating won't hurt her and she'll eat as soon as she's hungry enough.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
