Hi all. So Pandora got spayed two Fridays ago (Jan 29) and I posted because she was slow to eat/drink and very sluggish. However, I got her pain meds, she picked up, and everything was all well. Or so I thought. I checked on her spay incision at least twice a day for the next week. Last Friday, I was concerned because it was still looking a little red, and didn’t look like it was healing really, though I didn’t know if that was normal for one week later or not. Well, when I woke up on Saturday and checked her I noticed the incision had a little pus, so I took her to the emergency vet. They gave me antibiotics to give her twice a day for the next week.

My question is, should I be letting her out to run even with an infected spay incision? It is looking better, not red at all and no more pus. It does look kind of nasty though, like it’s scabbing or something. She has been acting totally normal through everything, and she desperately wants to run around, but I don’t know if it’s safe. I don’t want her to aggravate anything. What do you think? Is it okay to let her out to run around or should she still be resting until she’s done with her meds and the incision is totally healed? She is so mad at me lol.
