Speyed female recovery question
Hi, I'm having Faline speyed on Monday. She's not yet bonded to Vince, so should I bring her indoors whilst she gets better or is she ok in her hutch outside? How long shall I leave it before I introduce her to Vince? (he is being castrated at the same time)
Thank you!
Thank you!

Re: Speyed female recovery question
I would bring her inside. When both of my girls were done, I brought a small hutch that I used then as a hospital hutch into my back porch so it was quiet and a bit warmer. That way you can check that they are eating and pooing and weeing which is important.
Also, you need to keep an eye to check they are not nibbling at the incision. My vet glued the wound shut, but some vets use a stitch and buns can nibble this open. My buns weren't very co-operative about being check for this and I just had to keep an eye on them.
When they get back, give then a nice soft bed of hay to snuggle in and nibble. They will probably not move around too much initially. Entice them to eat with some greens that you know they love. I put in some fresh grass and dandelions and when they went, kept giving her titbits of broccolli, carrot etc. You can also give them some pellets but the aim is to get them eating normally so make sure there is lots of hay as well.
Keep an eye on the toilet corner and check that they are peeing and pooing. Usually they make a fast recovery as they are pretty resilient to operations like most animals. Make sure your vet has given her pain relief when you collect her.
Hoping everything goes well.

Deffo inside, it's a major operation, and she'll need care and a close eye keeping on her.
Nickie's advice is spot on

Re: Speyed female recovery question
Top advice from nickie... Keeping an eye on poos is a really good way of checking everything is working normally,
Its important to make sure she is given pain meds too.
