My dog died from her spay

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved dog. Losing a pet is incredibly difficult, and it's understandable that you might be looking for answers. There are a few different factors that could lead to complications after a spay surgery, including rare reactions to anesthesia, surgical complications, or preexisting health issues that weren't apparent beforehand.



It's important to know that while spaying is a routine procedure with a high success rate, no surgery is risk-free. In some cases, an undiagnosed condition like a bleeding disorder could increase risks. Other times, infections or internal bleeding might occur post-surgery.



At home, signs that something was amiss might have included excessive lethargy, vomiting, swelling at the surgical site, pale gums, or labored breathing. If you noticed any of these, it's a sign to reach out to a vet immediately.



You did the best you could for your dog by providing care that was routine and well-intentioned. If you have more questions or need support during this tough time, considering a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet might provide some comfort and help you find clarity on this matter.
