Why is my puppy not walking after spay surgery? When will she recover?

Question

My puppy was spayed yesterday, and she had a restless night and keeps crying. She also can not walk for now, so when will she be able to walk again? Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | spayed | 5 lbs

Poor Bella! I am assuming she is not walking because she is in pain. All dogs react differently after being spayed and some have a higher tolerance to pain. I am not sure if she was given any pain medications but you should call your vet and let him/her know that she seems painful. Your vet should be able to add or adjust her medications to help relieve the pain. Hopefully, she will be feeling better in a few days.
