This is a late answer but for someone who might read this in the future we will post it anyway. The risk is much higher to the animal and it certainly raises the risk the animal bleeding out. There is also more swelling. We were going to have our Show Basenji spayed this year. She went into heat slightly early and our vet said that we should wait until after the heat was over before he felt comfortable doing the spay for the reasons mentioned.
Spay healing well?

Hi everyone
just wanted to know if this thread even goes through -I posted to a reply and it failed too
But I just got my girl spayed 5 days ago (April 20th)and would like to know if everything is healing well
-got told to go back on the
30th-10 days later to get stitches removed /here is a picture of her sutures -also until today she was being carried down the stairs and couch ,now it's just the stairs as she seems to have no issues getting on and off the couch

Looks fine. I had my girl done 3 months ago and looks similar to her incision line. She recovered well and has had no problems since.
-
Looks good to me… at least from the pictures... and she should be fine to do stairs
-
thanks , for replies , she's great now playing and all 3 more days and stitches are out -
I was lucky with Teshi. No stitches to remove, all were internal. She went back to vets after 10 days for a check and was given the all clear.

thanks everyone for the replies , she's no longer wearing the cone and back to the vet on Wednesday to get her stitches out
Now we can have some real fun at the dog parks
