Is it normal for my spayed dog's scar to be hard and produce milk?

Question

My dog was recently spayed. The scar looks good but is hard underneath. Should I be concerned? She is also producing milk. We have a 10 week old puppy who insists on still nursing home her even though it's not her puppy. Could this be causing some issues with the scar? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 2 years and 9 months old | 50 lbs

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Pet Coach. Cynder's spay incision sounds perfectly normal. The "hard" feeling underneath the skin/scar layer is her body wall incision that is still continuing to heal. It may have this "hard" feeling for quite some time, but no need to be worried about it. From the way you have described it, it sounds like everything is healing normal as it should. It is fine that she is still nursing her puppy. Nothing to be concerned about in that aspect.
