If the dog’s wound becomes inflamed after sterilization, timely measures need to be taken. Here are some steps you can try:
Observe the wound: Check for swelling, redness, pus, blood, and other symptoms. If you notice these symptoms, the wound may be infected.
Clean the wound: Gently clean the wound with water or saline, and cut the hair around the wound short for better cleaning and observation of the wound.
Apply ointment: If the wound infection is minor, you can apply anti-inflammatory ointment or antibacterial ointment to the wound. However, be careful not to use ointments that contain ingredients such as alcohol or sodium hydroxide.
See a doctor: If the wound is severely inflamed or the infection has spread to surrounding tissues, you need to seek medical treatment in time. Please consult your pet doctor and provide medical treatment or surgical treatment according to the doctor's recommendation.
Prevention: For dogs that have just undergone surgery, you need to pay attention to giving them enough rest and recovery time. And avoid letting your dog lick the wound after surgery.
In addition, you need to follow the doctor's advice, give your dog medicine on time, and pay attention to keeping the wound clean and dry during the recovery period. In short, if you find that your dog’s sterilization wound is inflamed, please take timely measures to ensure your dog’s health and safety.
