Good on you for getting Grey spayed! If she doesn't like to be in a crate, I would keep her in a small room with a litter box, food, and water. It's very important to limit her movement. Even if she complains, keep her there. It's for a short period of time only. Keep an Ecollar on her at all times so she does not lick the incision. Use an open litter box (no top) to make it easier for her to use it. She will not need assistance to use it. Do NOT let her go outside, no playing, jumping, or running. Make sure she is kept warm, make her a comfortable place to sleep. I hope this helps!
