Is my puppy's spay incision normal after 3 days of constant jumping?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 4 months and 19 days old | 42 lbs

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!
