| bottom scooting after spay / hernia surgery? so alice got spayed yesterday along with getting her hernia fixed and getting 4 teeth pulled. the vet said everything went really well and that everything should heal fast. now after bringing her home last night she started scooting her bum all over. she doesnt seem like shes in much pain, but something is deffintly irritating her. i have used puppy wipes to clean her bum area to try to help if there is any irritation in the area, but it hasn't helped. i also gave her a dose of pain meds that the vet gave me. this also hasnt helped the scooting. has anyone else expierenced this? she didint really scoot before the spay so thats why i think its weird. any advice would help!!! thanks (I dont know if this post is in the right section?)

| I've never heard of an umbilical hernia repair causing scooting. My first thought would be anals. Are they full? Is she urinating normally?

| Was she shaved in that area? Maybe it's itchy with the hair growing back? Just a guess on my part. Hope she's feeling better. Good Luck! |
