Is spaying my dog worth the pain? She's so sad after surgery.

Question

I got Nova spayed today. Now I feel terrible seeing her super sad face. She is crying I picked her up from vet. She didn't want to go in kennel so now she is sleeping next to me on bed. My family is mad at me that I put poor one under do much pain. Did I do the right thing? Would it be better if she was unspayed? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 5 months and 14 days old | 54.3 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You absolutely did the right thing. Spaying dogs is the best option to help prevent certain conditions such as pyometra and reduce the possibility of mammary tumors. Usually dogs recover very quickly after surgery and she is expected to be fine after surgery. It may take her a few days to be back to normal but that would be the expectation. Rest comfortably that you did the right thing. Good luck and have a good night!
