That could be absolutely normal, I would recommend to keep her indoors as much as possible and do not stress her (like touching her belly) if she does not want/like it. If there are no other signs a part from the ones you described, I would not be worried at this stage. Keep in touch if the signs persist and remember that you can attach pics of the surgical wound if you like, so we can give you more specific advices. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
