Also it can take some time for your dog's body to settle down after the operation. You may find that she still shows problems around the time that she would naturally have come in to season as the brain chemistry releases its hormones.<br /><br />Hopefully this is a temporary problem for you and a chat with the vet on the post op check up should help with your concerns.<br /><br />Olwen Turns SAC Dip - Behaviourist Cloverleaf Canine Centre<br /><br /> Cloverleafk9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02068277245915684036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008632143615292951.post-4606812518417722442013-12-05T09:06:24.635-08:002013-12-05T09:06:24.635-08:00I believe that the post-op check will do the trick...I believe that the post-op check will do the trick as the vet will then be able to address any problems and advise you on the right way to go if this is a behavioural not medical issue. When I had my dog castrated, he was rather drowsy and sorry for himself, but he is a more laid-back, sensitive dog in general. This could simply be the personal way your dog reacts the the surgery. Good luck with the check-up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239919473206923975noreply@blogger.com
