My 11 month old Westie girl had an ovarian sparing spay done at the end of January. The first few days were rough, we called the vet a few times and none of the things suggested worked. We ended up going to the ER where she was given better pain meds, anti-nausea meds and anti-inflammatory meds. As soon as we gave her these she started doing better and her diarrhea went away and she started eating again. She was on them for about a week.
Now, 3 weeks later (post surgery) she eats here and there, but she doesn't nearly have the appetite she used to have. She used to stand next to me in kitchen and couldn't wait for her bowl. Now she sits in another room and i have to call her to eat and ask her multiple times to eat her food. We took her back to the vet and she said she was fine and her appetite would return. I am still worried. Should I be at ease and not worry about it or is something wrong with her?

I may be inclined to get a second vet opinion. If the pup gets a clean bill of health, you may want to ask if a low salt broth on her hard food or if wet food could be used to entice her.
Some vet's recommend mixing human canned chicken (white meat) into the food for an extra draw.

Your fur baby is slowly coming back. The good part is she is eating and drinking. This is hard on her and the adjustment is slow. Get advice on maybe a different food choice in case its that. Otherwise watch her close, and if you do not feel that her last visit helped, get a second opinion!
Try mixing hard food with a can of meat and gravy (soft dog food ) . Sometimes they just get tired of just the hard food .
