Hey guys,
Beignet, my 11 month old rott/shepherd mix, was spayed six days ago. I understand that I am supposed to keep her activity minimal, but she's very active and some running and jumping has not been preventable. Two days after her surgery, I had to take her back to the vet cause the top 2 of her 5 staples had started to come out. The vet fixed them and added a couple more for reassurance.
The staples are still in now and she's been doing fine. She does not lick the area at all and is not in any pain and has great energy. However, the incision has scabbed up a bit and the area is a bit pink a swollen/hard, particularly at the points where each staple has entered the skin. I just want to know if this is normal for 6 days post-op and if there's anything I should be doing. Thanks for any advice, I'm a worried mommy!
