My dog's spay incision glue is coming off. Should I call the vet?

Question

Hi, I just got my 7 month old lab husky mix Dory spayed 2 days ago. She’s very rambunctious and we have a 4 year old boxer who is just as playful. I woke up to them quietly wrestling and immediately separated them and checked dory, the glue on her insicion is just hanging off and only attached in the middle, it’s not bleeding and it’s not entirely open, should I take her back to the clinic to have it reglued or just keep an eye on her? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 7 months and 20 days old | 48 lbs

Hello. Everything appears to be OK for now, so just keep an eye on the incision. As long as the skin does not gap open ( there should be stitches underneath the skin ), & there is no active drainage, it should be fine. Just try to keep Dory quite for a few more days ( sometimes easier said than done! ). Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
