I rescued a dog from a shelter a couple of weeks ago, and found out that she was pregnant when I took her to the vets to get spayed. After a lot of soul searching, I decided to go ahead with the operation and had her spayed on Monday.

She's back at home now and has quite a lot of energy, but is whining almost constantly. As soon as I go out of her presence she whines and will often do it when she has company. She never did this before. I know she's had major surgery and I'm not expecting her to be as she was, however, has anyone else had an experience like this? Could I be doing something better to reassure her?
