Noodle had her spay on Monday, and the surgery was successful but her recovery has been a little bit difficult, so I thought I’d share.
On Tuesday evening, she started vomiting, which isn’t that unusual for Noodle, but it kept happening repeatedly through the night and so was worrying. Then on Wednesday morning the vomiting was joined by some serious diarrhoea (again repeated throughout the day). So we went back to the vet, who thought she seemed fine but gave her different pain relief, in case she was having a reaction.
Fast forward to Wednesday night and it still hadn’t stopped - then she threw up bloody vomit! I panicked and called the emergency vet, who said she was basically (as I understood it, at least) wearing away her stomach lining by being sick so much. So she’s now had an injection to stop her being sick for a while and has a few other medicines to take.
In the meantime, I’m emotionally exhausted and have had to stay up through some of the night to keep feeding her and dealing with the diarrhoea (although at least there’s two of us, so we did manage to take the night in shifts). Then this morning the injection wore off and she was sick again, so I’m also feeling quite anxious for the day ahead. Sorry for the long post - I just thought it might make me feel a bit better to share!
