shihspaniel Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi, I am caring for a rescued dog at present and she was desexed last Thursday. This morning I have noticed that her desexing wound, whilst it is clean and not red is a bit weepy, the fluid is quite thin and clear in colour. I have seen her have the odd lick at the stitches, but she does not seem to be at them excessively. What do you think, is there something I should be putting on the wound or am I worrying over nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Sounds OK as it's thin and clear. I'd take her to the vet if any signs of redness or inflammation. Might need antibiotics, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thin and clear is good. I tis whatthe body produces to 'glue' itself back together. Discourage her from licking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockerlover Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I wouldnt be putting anything on it; as it is better to keep the area dry ;if its not swollen;red or pussy i wouldnt worry to much but keep an eye on it & maybe ring vet that performed surgery; good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shihspaniel Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated. I will keep an eye on it and try to keep her from licking, will resort to doing the 'bucket head' thing if I feel it's necessary.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
