This is a serious emergency. She may have been hit by a car. You will need to take her to your vet right now, please. The vet will take xrays to find out whether her hip is intact, and her spinal cord. A hard stomach is a sign of severe pain either in the abdomen or spinal or hip area. Please take her now. She is likely in serious pain.

    I would strongly recommend taking Hope to the veterinarian. It seems as if her abdomen is hard and painful. This could be related to a urinary bladder issue constipation or G.I. disease, or some other disorder or disease causing fluid buildup in her abdomen. The veterinarian will perform a physical exam and based on those finding spray recommend further diagnostic testing such as blood work, x-ray, or ultrasound. Good luck I hope she feels better soon

    That sounds very odd. I would recommend getting her to the vet in the next day or two (sooner if she's not eating, is lethargic, or otherwise seems ill). It's way too late for this to be related to the spay, she would have been fully healed after 10-14 days, but it's certainly not normal.
