My puppy’s spay incision 10 days post surgery is a little bumpy. Is this normal? She is acting perfectly fine and doesn’t seem to be in any pain.

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.
