When mummy takes away your ball(s)

[Jacqui-S]

Lilly needed hand fed for the first 24 hours after her spay she was so pathetic.
Mind you it also took about that long before she could stand and squat to pee and poo.

Well it is a hysterectomy, boys are just a bit less bouncy in the junk department. Theyve not had their ovaries and womb removed, just their beloved boys.

 

[Natalie]

Mean, mean mummy
No way did we stick to 2 weeks, probably a week on lead, then another week of more gentle off lead exercise.

He still hasn’t weed! We are now down to whimpers but I’m not sure if that’s down to a lack of a walk as he keeps bringing his ball to me or pain?!

 

[Jacqui-S]

Waiting for a pee is a killer.
I think the painkillers can delay peeing too.

Has the vet told you in how many hours he had to pee? How long since his last pee?

 

[SwampDonkey]

It's the anaesthetic just leave him to rest he'll wee in a bit but he's a bit bruised right now. Just imagine you've been kicked in the Mary you wouldn't be keen to pee.

It could be the anaesthetic. I guess they use ketamine or ketanest.

 

[HAH]

Swampy, you’re a true poet. I LOVE your phrasing

You should be a vet! That explains it much better than our vet did

 

[SwampDonkey]

But also he didn't drink much or eat much today lost blood fluid and flesh his body is depleted. He won't pee until all the checks and balances are sorted. Rest and time will do the trick. Balls are exterior but his plumbing is bruised.

He peed this morning at 9am but hasn’t peed again since. That said he’s obviously not had a lot of water etc either. He’s drank a bit since he got home and has had some gastro food (ffs do they give that food for bloody everything!) so I assume he will need to go at some point!

Yes Mary is very technical

 

[Leanne]

@SwampDonkey just don’t ever change. You are literally perfect the way that you are

Yes

 

[Granca]

Good luck with entertaining Mas (or will it be the other way round?)! Has he peed yet? If not, I hope he doesn’t choose the middle of the night to decide he’s bursting!

 

[Leanne]

Still no Pee.

I feel like we are back to puppy hood where my life revolves around waiting for signs of needing the toilet!

I’m sleeping on the sofa tonight with him tonight so toilet breaks won’t be an issue hopefully!

 

[Leanne]

Whoop! We have wee wees!

Poor Rourke wasn't too good the evening of the op, but next day he was fine. didn't have a collar either! Hope Mas gets better very quickly.
