My puppy just recently got spayed and has a lump under her incision. I know this is normal, but how long until this goes away? She also had hernia surgery at the same time and has a lump there too. I am assuming it is from the dissolvable sutures and/or scar tissue. Can anyone give any info?

I appreciate the answers, but I was not asking anyone for a diagnosis. I asked how long after a spay should the lump disappear.

I have two dogs one is 14 and the other is 2 they were both spayed,you can still feel the lumps under the skin in the 14 year old, I don't know if they used different sutures before than they do now but you can't even tell the 2 year old had anything done. Hope this helps!!!

if there is any swelling it ought to be a demonstration of an infection... take her back to the vet for a rapid look, many times there is not any fee to be certain they're doing high quality and not contaminated. it may additionally be from a stitch, blood clot, fatty tissue deposit so ought to be no longer something, whether, if she has a temp then it fairly is probably an infection and desires antibiotics. in case you may not take her temp, and the lump is swollen, crimson, streaky or any discharge from the incision it's time to pass to the vet interior the morning.

If it is fluid, it could be infected.
It also could be a hernia around the sutures.
Take her to the vet; we on yahoo answers are not able to diagnose your pet.
