How long does it take for a female dog to recover from spaying?

Generally, it takes about a week for a cat to recover from neutering, and if the cat is relatively weak or active, it can recover in ten days or so. However, it is necessary to frequently check the cat's wound condition within a week after the operation, timely disinfect and apply medication to the wound, and wear an Elizabeth collar to prevent wound infection and deterioration. If wound infection is detected, contact the pet doctor in a timely manner to prevent severe infection.

Best timing for female dog spaying

The best time for female dog spaying is when the dog is 4 to 5 months old, when the dog's physical condition is good and the surgical risk is minimal. If the surgery is performed after the dog becomes an adult, it may lead to death due to excessive blood loss. Spaying can prevent diseases such as uterine pyelonephritis and mammary tumors, and it can also make the dog's personality more gentle.

How long does it take for a dog to recover after neutering?

In spring and summer, the recovery time is about 7 days; in autumn and winter, the recovery time is approximately 10 to 15 days. The wound recovery process after pet neutering or spaying goes through several stages: acute inflammation period (slight redness and mild exudation of the wound after surgery), cell proliferation period (drying and redness of the wound disappears), scar formation period (epidermal crust formation and itching), and epidermal healing tissue regeneration and exfoliation. Factors that prolong wound healing include licking, irregular medication, skin disease infection near the wound, and diabetes.

Precautions after dog neutering

Points to note after dog neutering:

Fasting for 8 hours before surgery, and no water intake for 4 hours before surgery, to keep the animal fasting. Ensure that the dog's physical functions are normal to avoid anesthesia risks. Ensure comprehensive immunity and deworming, and try to avoid the risk of secondary diseases caused by post-operative stress.
After surgery, to prevent the dog from constantly licking the wound, the Elizabeth collar must be worn continuously. Limit the dog's activity space to prevent the wound from rupturing due to intense exercise. Return for follow-up visits at the first and third weeks after surgery to observe the wound healing condition.
