Hello! I have an almost 9 mo border collie lab mix who hasn't been spayed yet and hasn't had her first heat. She's super energetic and enthusiastic, so I'm nervous about her being hyper after surgery and injuring herself.
I wish I could have gotten her spayed sooner, but I got my pup at 4 months old, around march, right before Corona hit, and her previous owners hadn't given her any of her shots: so timing, just didn't work out to get her spayed sooner. I figure a pamphlet will come from the vet after her surgery about what to do. My normal vet is a mobile only vet, so he doesn't do surgeries. I have to go to someone else who isn't familiar with my dog, and because of Corona, she must stay at the vets office all day (8:30-5:30) to avoid unnecessary contact, which I hate, but it's a necessity because I also have an intact male at my residence and it'll be better for her health in the long run. She also gets super car sick, so the ride might be stressful right before surgery, and I would like to avoid that kind if stress too (I've tried CBD which has helped some but not completely)
So, any tips or stories you have or learned from spaying your pup is welcome, she's my first dog, so I want to be sure I can accommodate to her since she is usually a ball of energy
