ELSIE'S PUPS ARE BACK FROM SURGERIES!

And the group is playing instead of resting!

One of my biggest issues is trying to keep them quiet after their spays and neuters.  They recover so quickly that it is mind boggling. Only Piper, done last is resting (smart girl).

In a couple of hours, I will feed them a small meal.  They had a bit of food before I picked them up as my vet wants to be sure they are eating and urinating after the surgery.  Small meals so their digestive system is not overloaded.

REMEMBER, once they go home - no jumping as the incision needs to heal for a week.  So allow the pup to play, walk, etc., but minimize any 'extra' movement.  You don't want to over excite them.  You will notice if they are doing 'too' much as there will be swelling at the site (you will feel a lump), you want to avoid that.  It does not require a vet visit but keep the pup on a lower activity level.

A bath was given to each pup last night to have them nice and clean for my vet and for this weekend.  DO NOT give them a bath for at least 10 days!

There is one squeezed into the left corner and one way in the back on the bed. All are alert and want 'out'.  Tomorrow will be interesting as they will want to run all over the place but 

will be restricted to just the alley and first pen.  Safety first!!
