Ok, you need to make sure that you keep that incision site clean and dry. I wouldnt suggest putting anything on it, but if it does look red and irriated you can put just a dap of neosporin on it. ( I was a vet tech for 7 years) Im surprised they are waiting 14 days rather than 7 days. Make sure you are leash walking for the next week, and try to keep her low key. Sometimes with all the pain meds they give you, it will make them feel so good that they forget they had surgery, so try to keep her from jumping!
