Bleeding and Bruising in Dogs

Removal of the ovaries and uterus-also known as ‘Ovariohysterectomy’ is carried out through a cut in the tummy. There is a greater chance that your canine will bleed and bruise if she is on the heavier side. On the brighter side, this major surgery is performed regularly with hardly any complications.

Spay timing

Your vet will spay your canine after she has completed nine months of age. Most vets like to wait till the first mating season before spaying so that your canine gets the taste of mother-hood. The best time to spay is between two mating seasons after nine months of age. Keep in mind that spaying a dog of increasing age also increases the risk

Healing time

It may take a few weeks before your canine can recover her health after the surgery. Usually the sutures should be removed seven to ten days after surgery.

The cost of this surgery can vary anywhere from $ 140 to $ 500
