| If she has stitches from the spaying, I wouldn't bath her 'till after they are out. Too much risk of infection. You could try using the bath wipes. That might help, just be very careful around the stitches. The poor baby, I hope she is feeling better soon. ((hugs))

| Awww, poor baby And your poor nose Does she have stitches or staples? If so, then you have to wait until 48 hours or so after they are removed (they leave tiny microscopic holes when removed so they need to close up) If they used surgical glue, you can bathe her now, just don't scrub that area or let it soak in the water. You may want to wait a day or so anyway, just because she's probably very sore and tender and I'm sure getting washed would just make her feel worse. Baby wipes to the rescue

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | you should wait the 10-14 days until her stitches come out. you don't want to risk infection or the incision opening. use baby wipes and dry shampoo.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | who does this? None of the vet hospitals i've worked for have done this. We try to avoid bathing them if all possible. If we need to clean them up we use dry shampoo and a towel or a wet soapy towel and another wet towel. they shouldn't be in the sink or tub for a bath and have constant water on their incision.

| I would most definately wait til after suture or staple removal. If there are no sutures or staples, I would still wait 10-14 days. It isn't worth the risk.

| I have never heard that..they always say to wait until the stitches are removed until you bathe them...Mine dont bathe them after they've been spayed or neuterd..now, they have bathed them when I've boarded them out before.. |

| My Daisy had a spay thru her belly button and hoohaw (laparoscopic spay ) And a day or 2 later she stunk REALLY bad, come to find out she has pus coming outta her hoohaw and got really sick. She had to be put on stong antibiotics and given 2 extra heaps of TLC. So my point is, if she is really stinky I would take her back, maybe somehting is not right.

| Well, I have heard really good things about this kinda procedure, thats why I did it. It did seem to have alot of more pros than cons. But with any surgery you always have a risk of some kind of complications. And, I would most definately reccomend it and do it again. Just demand antibiotics with it next time. |
