Spinstorm Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I had Flash done on Wednesday and since them he has seemed more difficult than he ever was. He is nipping and biting more than he has ever before. Today I was trying to file down his paws and when I picked them up he started screaming like he was being shot and stabbed at the same time! I didnt even do anything! Every time I try to feed him or move him he nips at my hands and has twice nipped at my face when I was stroking him. He also was howling when we went for a walk at other dogs and people,which he never does. This is concerning me lots... Could he bein pain so he is acting out? His ball area is black and bruised to be expected but his incision seems to be healing. I'm at a loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramek Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 It'll wear off. He's just kinda sore and grumpy, he isn't mad at you or anything. Every dog is different, but, I've seen the bounce-back in as few as 3 days, so, just give it a bit, and maybe just be extra nice to him until his feelings aren't hurt anymore.

Arooroomom Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 It's probably a bit sore. Give him a few more days. All dogs are different. Some bounce back quicker than others. If it still seems to be in pain this coming Wednesday i'd ring the vets just in case. Did they give you any pain meds? We didn't get any but it seems like he may need some. Hope it's OK!

Val (Zebedee) Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Myshka was out of sorts for a few days after her speying, but she did receive pain meds to help her through, maybe ask the vet for some & see if they have any effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlene5548 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 nanuq cried all night after his so i lay beside him on the sofa and he eventually slept but he never had a problem after that and he had no pain relief... guess it all depends on the animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
