Why is my dog crying after spaying2007-11-25 2:56:24

My 11-yr old dog was recently spayed and has had been crying and whining ever since. I don't think she is in pain-- she's on two kinds of pain medication and her incision looks fine. She's normally a calm, quiet dog, and her behavior has completely changed. She is crying constantly, day and night. We've tried keeping her in a kennel, behavior modification, cuddling, nothing works! Please help!

Answers:

If your pet just had surgery, maybe the pain meds aren't working? You may not be getting rid of ALL the pain and that means you may be dealing with some whining for a while. Have the vet check if still a major issue with meds in 24 hours. Good luck.

dude, would you?

Take her back to the vet. Dogs don't cry for no reason. She must be in some pain.

---

How would you feel like if your genitalia was surgically removed?? Leave her alone and wait another week or so, she'll calm down. . .

---

Hmm. As far as I know, dogs can't cry. ^^;

---

She misses her ovaries. You would too.

A spay can sometimes hurt especially with older cats. It could also be an after-effect of the anaesthetic.

---

Please don't mind me saying this but due to old age dogs lose their memory and sight and many things if she becomes aggressive and dangerous, you'll need to put her to sleep

What does the vet say? Most dogs will cry when in pain. There could be infection or internal problems that you can't see, or could have been complicated after surgery.
