does this spay wound look okay?

Hello! I understand you're concerned about your pet's spay wound, and it's great that you're keeping a close eye on it. After a spay surgery, the incision should generally look clean with the skin edges neatly aligned. Some redness and mild swelling are completely normal during the healing process, but these should gradually improve over a few days.



Keep an eye on the wound for any unusual signs such as increased redness, significant swelling, pus or discharge, foul odor, or if your pet seems to be in pain. These could indicate an infection or another issue that might need veterinary attention. Make sure your pet isn’t licking or biting the wound, as this can introduce bacteria and cause complications. Using a cone collar may help prevent this behavior.



At home, try to keep the area clean and dry, avoiding baths until the vet gives the all-clear. Monitor your pet’s appetite and activity level, as a decrease in these can sometimes be a sign that something’s amiss.



If you're unsure or notice any concerning signs, it's best to consult with a vet to ensure everything is healing properly. Feel free to book a video consult with us on Dial A Vet. We’re here to help!
