Hi I was just wondering if this looks like a normal 3 days post op spay incision? My puppy has been very hyper and jumps a lot despite our efforts to keep her calm. We started locking her in her crate, but I just want to make sure her incision is okay and that she hasn’t done any damage. Thank you!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Kala and for providing pictures, they are very helpful. The incision itself looks ok but I'm wondering if there is some swelling at the end of the incision. I'd keep an eye on it for now and if there is swelling there and it gets bigger, have her seen by a vet. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This can be normal just slight inflammation from the sutures can cause it to look or feel bumpy. As long as it isn’t open, there is no discharge and she is acting normal I wouldn’t worry.

The incision looks normal for a freshly spayed dog. It is not exactly a very pretty incision, but it will heal nicely eventually. She is likely shaking due to after effects from the anesthesia and pain. You should give her the pain medicine given to you for her by your vet, of if he did not give you any, ask him for some pain medicine.

From the photo this appears to be a normal incision. Monitor for swelling, pain or discharge from the incision site. If concerned I would contact the vet that performed her surgery to see if they offer recheck for surgical patients. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
