LauraG89 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 My indi got spayed on Monday and I've had nothing but problems, she still hasn't had a poop which the vet isn't too worried about as long as she is having a wee, but I am worried about an infection she has developed, the vet has given me antibiotics today to help fight it off but it's looking worse, is there anything I could apply to reduce the temp of the area and redness?? The pic below is one I've just taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjng Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 ouch ! Poor girl ! And poor you ! Don't have any advice I'm afraid but good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Ouch indeed! Sorry to hear about this so what kind of infection is this exactly, if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraG89 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I don't know what kind of infection it is, the vet didn't say, just gave me 5 days worth of antibiotics and told me to come on Tuesday to look again. If I was worried I was to take her sooner, if it doesn't look better by the morning will be taking her straight back xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Do you have another vet for second opinion? I think it's odd how you simply get the drugs (and the bill) shoved your way without any explanation of what it is you're fighting against. Either ways I wish Indi a speedy recovery xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraG89 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 The next vet to me is near 15 miles away and I don't drive yet, I luckily didn't get the bill for her as the vet admitted to making a mistake in not providing a collar for her and allowing her access to the area, the first night I had to use an old t-shirt and make hole in it to stop her getting at it, but I guess by that time it was too late as I had gone to work and my mum was looking after indi and my daughter, so was unable to monitor her at all times, I'm just hopi.g it can all be treated quickly as I hate to see her in any pain, or discomfort, she isn't acting like herself at all (the pics below is of the first nighgt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Aw alright hope it's nothing major x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraG89 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 So do I, she is my second baby, I'd be lost without her, she's normally so full of life like any husky and seeing her like this breaks my heart, just want my little firecracker back to her usual self xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Antibiotics take a couple of days to kick in. Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery, a spay is already a stressful experience in itself but with this on top you must be worried sick. Take care and let us know how she gets on. xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraG89 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I am worried sick, it's not been a good week all round but this has added onto it, just hope indi gets better soon and starts picking up xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare70 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm surprised she doesn't have a big plaster over it, unless you or she has removed it. When Snow was castrated he had to have his stitches covered for 10 days, maybe different here in france. Hope she's feeling better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraG89 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 She did have a plaster on it originally but as the vet failed to give me a collar while I was at work she ate it, I didn't know until I got home later, as mum was keeping an eye on her and my daughter. I got a collar the next day but by then the damage had been done xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBELHOWLUC49 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Poor Indi........ With anitbiotics the infection should clear soon. Really hope she gets better soon....

Clare70 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 The redness looks more like a skin irritation than an infection (my opinion) could this be what she's being treated for? Especially if shes been licking it so much which of course is natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraG89 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 The stitches are swollen and hot too, the vet said it was best to treat with antibiotics to be on the safe side xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
