Long and complicated story but basically:
Dog is an 11yr old terrier.
It has been ill for about a week so was taken to vets who found a cyst/tumor in her womb that was infected, so it was spayed.
Dog wasn't spayed before as it has a rare immune system thing so they didn't want to do any unnecessary ops.
Dog is now home but owners have gone off on holiday this evening leaving dog and house for me to deal with.
All I have been told is to not let it jump on/off anything and only short walks on lead so it can do its business.
It is having ABs in its food twice a day.
Is there anything else I need to do/not do? It has been 5yrs since I last had a dog spayed so I can't remember what I was told.
I am really worried as it is not my dog, it has a funny immune system and it is quite old for this type of op.
Owner's dad is taking dog back to the vets on Thurs for a check up, so I just need to keep it in one piece till then.
