My dog isn't eating much after spay surgery. Is this normal?

Question

I have posted several times now. I appreciate the help I am worried about my baby. She got spayed Friday afternoon. She is still acting like she doesn’t really want to eat. I have “convinced” her to eat a little but she isn’t eating as much as she did before. Is this okay? She has some pain medicine so I don’t think that is it. I know she is uncomfortable as I have her in two baby onesies. Could that be why she doesn’t want to eat much? She has pooed and peed since surgery. Thank you again. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 9 months old | 14 lbs

The onesies may be uncomfortable or stressful for her. Try taking them off at feeding time. Watch her closely though so she doesn't get to her incision. You can also warm her food slightly or mix in a teaspoon of plain baby food to stimulate the appetite.
