- Watch for signs of excessive bleeding in the urine.
- Observe if your dog appears uncomfortable or in pain.
- Check the surgical incision for excessive swelling, redness, or discharge.
- Monitor your dog’s overall behavior and appetite.
While some behavioral changes and minor discomfort are typical after a spay surgery, blood in the urine could suggest issues like an infection or trauma to the urinary tract. It's best to consult your vet to ensure your dog receives the appropriate care and prompt treatment if needed.
