    My dog was spayed Monday

     

    Was wondering if anybody knows if this looks normal?  My friend was telling me she might have a hernia bc it looks like a little ball.

    It does not look like a hernia to me.  It looks like a tissue reaction to the suture material used in sewing the the subcutaneous layer back together. 

    I would have the yet look at it to make sure that it is not anything more serious.

     Looks like a suture reaction to me as well. But, always good to set your mind at ease by having the vet take a peek. Many times they won't charge an office call to check something like that :)

    You've got wise counsel there!! 

    There could also be a drop of skin glue in there causing it to look bulky too!!  (skin glue works pretty darned good on dogs -- way better than on humans - and they often use it in spays).  But I think everbuddy above is right -- have the vet take a quick look if you can.
