Spay healing well?


  • Hi everyone :) just wanted to know if this thread even goes through -I posted to a reply and it failed too
    But I just got my girl spayed 5 days ago (April 20th)and would like to know if everything is healing well ;) -got told to go back on the
    30th-10 days later to get stitches removed /here is a picture of her sutures :) -also until today she was being carried down the stairs and couch ,now it's just the stairs as she seems to have no issues getting on and off the couch


  • Looks fine. I had my girl done 3 months ago and looks similar to her incision line. She recovered well and has had no problems since.


  • Looks good to me… at least from the pictures... and she should be fine to do stairs


  • :) thanks , for replies , :) she's great now playing and all :) 3 more days and stitches are out :)


  • I was lucky with Teshi. No stitches to remove, all were internal. She went back to vets after 10 days for a check and was given the all clear.


  • :) thanks everyone for the replies , ;) she's no longer wearing the cone and back to the vet on Wednesday to get her stitches out
    Now we can have some real fun at the dog parks :)

    @gigi See, we're adults! We found an agreed upon thing, for I an cranky. I am too tired to find it, but I recall that giving less than a full dose may not be legal if the dog bites

    Maca is not well welcome at the vet, she was there for one day, and the vet was so happy that i was pick up her the same day hahaha she destroyed a cage… they were there because Maca bites Laika and Laika had to stay there several days until i get fixed the garden door, But she was sad and quiet. I dont want to repeat that.. poor girls...

    @yag113: Exactly how I feel. Fortunately I love my vets, it's a husband and wife and they have come to know how I am and always work with me. I have 2 goats and the husband does farm calls. I feel very lucky. I always take the staff chocolates and snacks just in case I feel the need to get obnoxious about something…they will placate me! Thanks again for the input. I adore my dog and it's very cool to talk to people who love basenjis! Sounds like a great Vet practice!!! Let us know how the spay goes, I am sure she will do great!

    I brought her to the vet on Monday and that's when she said to put a hot compress on the site. The incision looks normal and healing very well. No redness at all. The swelling is probably like the size of an almond. I noticed it because she's always had a very lean and flat tummy (don't we all wish we could be like that lol). I thought it was unhealthy too to have fluid accumulate under the skin, but the vet said it happens. I will keep an eye on it, and they said to call them on Friday with an update. Hopefully it will go away soon. In the mean time she really likes snuggling up with the heat pad.
