My 6mo puppy is being spayed on Tuesday and I am concerned about caring for her post-surgery. I want her to be comfortable and nourished. She is a Shih Tzu and eats nothing but lamb and rice puppy food, broccoli, carrots and green beans. Is it okay to introduce her to chicken broth if she has never had chicken before?. I am concerned about allergies, as these dogs are prone to allergies. Also, she sleeps in bed with me but my bed is very high and I'm concerned about her falling off so I plan on laying my futon from the guest room on the floor and sleeping with her there. When should she poop after the surgery, when will she resume eating her food. How long should I keep her quiet? I've never been through this before. Will the vet offer pain pills for her or do I have to ask? I've heard that they don't give pain pills. Don't the poor things feel pain? I would think they do. Thanks for sharing your experiences and advice.
