She seemed to be ok after being spayed this past Monday. However now, Thursday night, she is lethargic, didn't want to eat dinner today and her teats below her incision are very swollen and firm. She hasn't licked her stitches too much. Last couple of nights she has whimpered and last night she was panting as well. She is drinking a little bit of water when offered to her. I am really worried and am wondering if anyone has an suggestions or similar experiences with their dogs. Please help! :(

i would take your dog back to vet and get them to check her over, the swelling could be a number of things, some dogs have reactions to sutures, even a small amount of licking can cause an infection, a little fluid filled sack under the skin lots of different things t could be. but if she is lethargic and not eating i would get her checked. vet nurse 8 yrs
