After care speyed

 It is now November 23rd.

Rosie had her operation to be speyed 5days ago.

She was ok after her operation no complications. 

5days on she is having trouble defecating,  she lets out a loud squeal. 

Took her too the vet, who checked her anal glands were not inflamed also emptied her anal sacs.

She is still having pain, vet has prescribed a pain relief for her.

I am softening her food to make her stools softer to allow less tention on her stomach.

With a bitch the operation entails cutting into the belly, hence the tenderness. 

Rosie sleeps all night with odd mishap of messing on training pad, due to her being to small to hold it all night.

During day she ventures towards the door to go outside. 

Training her for potty outside has been a gradual process, she still is reluctant to go outdoors when weather is bad.

Coming into winter months this may hold her back a little. 

She has been car sick a few trips now, so now take her 15mins short trips without food 2hrs before she travels.

This shall ease her sickness through time hopefully. 

Walking on the lead, she now comes back, to my command, stay close.

I taught her touch my hand to bring her back to walk beside me.

Now all I need do is stand still and she turns automatically to stay close.

Eventually this shall lead to her not walking in front of me.

Now playtime is decided into short play interactive sessons with myself and her.

We play hide and seek her toys, she also loves tug of war.

She now has her adult teeth.

I managed to save 12 baby teeth, laying on the rugs.

This happened fairly quickly once I found the first one.

Within a month they all appeared to have been replaced with her adult teeth.

Meet Rosie

  Meet Rosie our new family member. She is 8wks old, she has been obviously missing her own family. She has been away from them for less than a week. Already she has learned to go too her puppy training pads. She sleeps in her crate beside my bed. The door is kept open so she can go too training pad when she needs to. Been a few misses but she mostly reaches her pads on time. She is now using her teething toys rather than sucking her blankets looking for her mummy for milk. I place the teething toy inside her mouth each time she opened it to suck. She soon learnt to get the hang of using the teething toy. She eats dry food with a little moise meat gel. She is eating 3 small meals. 9am , 1.30pm. 6pm her last meal stop along with water. She gets a calming treat at bedtime with a lick of water. Her bedtime is around 9.30pm. She takes a mad hour around 7.8.pm I try to keep this as calm as can be during this time. I massage her little body and talk to her. Once she is ...

Meeting Rosie for the first time.

The first day I met my new puppy Rosie.  My first thoughts on looking at her, once I had decided it was Rosie I was taking home, I heard myself telling myself,  I  hope I never let her down. For I felt I was still missing my beautiful cocker spaniel Carrie.  I knew pets can sense our emotions..whenever I got her into my arms and we were alone. I whispered to Rosie how sad I was feeling and it was not her fault.  I told her about my loss of Carrie and how beautiful she was. I shared with her my sadness for my loss telling her, I am sure you shall make me feel better.  I told Rosie, I too would love her as much as I  did my beautiful cocker spaniel.  When I walked into my home with Rosie in my arms. I took her straight to my photographs of Carrie and held it up in front of her so she could see her..I pressed it against her little nose , instantly though she knew what to do, she licked the photograph, giving Carrie kisses.. Each day since I  tal...
