| Did you have the vet look at the incision? I surely wouldn't trust the tech's opinion on something like that. I give my son's lab mix Dramamine for car trips as she gets sick, but she's between 35-40 pounds. I'd check with the vet for little dogs, don't want to overdose them. I've found in the past that the more they ride in the car, the less prone to getting sick they get. Try taking her on little trips close to home before venturing out on a cross-country. Best of luck to you. |

| The scar should not be red or hot. I would also take her temperature and make sure that is in the normal range of 101.5 to 102.5. The incision should not be oozing any fluids. The do look better with time after they flatten out and lighten, but trust your instincts. Here's a good link to car sickness - it covers everything from behavior modification to dramamine dosage and other natural anti-nausea and calming remedies. http://lowchensaustralia.com/health/carsick.htm |

| I am curious to see what the incision looks like. My Yorkie is a Coco too, and she was recently spayed. the stitches will be removed at the end of the week. My vet used stapes....I don't know if that was the best option. I would request to meet with the vet.... good luck. |

| Maddie was spayed and also had two hernias removed. She has two incisions. They had stitches and after they were removed it was raised not red or anything but it was raised. Its been about 3 weeks and they are flatting out. Not sure if that helps. |
