dog surgery recovery

[Anonymous]

My husky was not spayed and she developed a uterine infection, emergency surgery yesterday. Surgery went very well. She's 5. She's on a bunch of meds--nsaid, antibiotic, anti-nausea, gabapentin, and trazadone. Got her home late afternoon. She's had a little bit of water and a few bites of cooked hamburger and chicken.
I know she's uncomfortable and knocked out because of the drugs and the toll of surgery but the last time i had a sick dog was my previous husky who had a sudden aggressive cancer when he was old, which ended in euthanasia, so I don't have a good sense of what a normal recovery for an otherwise healthy, playful, talkative dog will look like, especially over the next week. (I do know from my own experience with surgery that the first 24 hours afterwards are the absolute worst).
