Things You'll Need:
- Your eyes
- Q-tips

Step 1
All you need to do is make sure your dog is not licking her wound too much this could loosen the stitches if any(a lot of vets now a days are using surgical glue which makes it easier to heal because the animal cannot pull at the stitches)and cause the wound to reopen and need to be re-stitched.

Step 2
Also you need to check occasionally for infection of the wound make sure it is kept clean. To Keep it clean and free from infection you can use a Q-Tip and some Peroxide to clean the wound, just carefully dab the wound with the Q-Tip and peroxide.

Step 3
That is really all you need to do just use your eyes and pay attention to the wound until it is healed.

on 10/30/2009 My dag was spayed three days ago and now she has a dime sized raised red bunp on the end of her incistion. Is this normal?

on 10/24/2008 Just like in a human surgery always comes with pain your vet should let you know how you should handle a dog after they have been spayed. You should always seek vet advice when it comes to mobilization of a dog after getting spayed. Every dog is different for a small dog I would say going up and done the stairs may be a little much and should not be done for a few days after surgery because of the fear of stitches ripping but for a bigger dog I think it would be okay. But you need to take to your vet about this.

on 9/15/2008 Aside from groggy and listless, does a spayed dog experience a great deal of pain? Do small dogs feel pain if carried or lifted and do they require assistance mobilizing up and down stairs the first day home.
