My dog got spayed yesterday. I noticed tonite that her incision had bled a lil..is this normal?

Answers:
A little bit is ok, but if its more than a little, you should call the vet. If it's a constant worry, go ahead and call- better safe than sorry.

When my dog was spayed, the vet said to just be careful with her, make sure she wasn't licking or biting at the stitches too much, and to keep it clean. He also suggested putting a little anti-bacterial ointment on it (such as Neosporin) to keep it from getting infected. (We used clean Q-Tips so we weren't touching it too much, and keeping our germs away from it as well.)

Hope this helps :)

If it is just a spot or 2, there shouldn't be a problem, but if it is still bleeding tomorrow, I would call the vet and tell him. He may want to recheck. Do you think she may be biting at her stitches?

When my dogs were spayed they bled a little bit. I wouldn't worry too much. If she starts to bleed a lot you should take her back to the vet, she have been chewing at her stitches.

My puppy was spayed a month ago, and hers bled a little. As long as the incision is still closed, then thers nothing to worry about. Did the vet use stiches or sturges? Mine used the sturges which is basically glue.

A little bit of bleeding isn't cause for concern, but if you are worried then you should call the vet - better safe than sorry.
