Dog spayed today: Why no appetite, just sleeping? Where should she recover?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 5 months old | 5 lbs

My dog got spayed today and I got her back at 5p.m she hasn't eaten and has been sleeping all day. I don't know what to do. I have a room I keep all my 3 dogs in and is kinda dirty, do I keep her in the room in a cage or put her somewhere else

It is normal for Millie to be sleepy and uninterested in food tonight. She should be feeling much perkier tomorrow and should probably be ready for breakfast. I think keeping her in a clean, quiet room away from the other dogs for the next 7-10 days whileher stitches heal is a great idea! Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Millie!
