Spaying

Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue I am experiencing with Foxy. I had her spayed last Thursday & Monday she had to go back in her hernia surgery. She ripped out her inside stitches. I am having a terrible time keeping her calm. To make matters more complicated now she is swollen along side her incision. Took her back to the vet today & he said it is only swelling & to keep doing the warm compresses. Did anyone else experience swelling at the incision & did warm compresses help? I'm really concerned about her doing more damage.

Paige your post actually made me laugh out loud. A ninja is a perfect description of her. I'm glad to see someone had the same experience as me, I was beginning to think I was a bad mommy.

Thank you everyone for your great suggestions. We have really been working on keeping her calm and she is caged all day while we are working with the exception of a break for lunch. I am very happy to report that the swelling has really gone down and she looks great. I know that doesn't mean we can ease up on the restrictions but it sure does ease my mind. We are continuing with the warm compresses which I believe have really helped.
