Question:

Hi,
Our 2yr old JRT was spayed yesterday. The vet kept her overnight beause she was slow to recover from the anesthesia, she was vomiting and somewhat lathargic.The vet advised us that this is not common but that she would be ok. She is very sluggish today but is eating normal.
Not to ask a medical question but in general and from your experience with JRTS do these dogs react this way after being spayed or neutered? We"ve never heard of any cases and regret having her spayed. We weren't breeding her anyway so now it feels that this was a bad decision.
Your input or suggestions will be very comforting.
Thank you,
Liz and Manny
