Bleeding and Bruising in Dogs

There is an entire range of anesthetics out there that are used for sedation before spaying. It is best that you have a preliminary discussion with your vet since different anesthetics carry different levels of safety and recovery periods.

Before spaying, your canine will need some pre-medication and sedation. The pre-medication consists of an introductory injection on the front leg after clipping the hair. Once your pet looses consciousness, gas will be emitted in to your pet’s windpipe through a tube. This may result in a cough and minor bleeding. You should also find out which painkillers were given to your dog when he was operated.
