7 days after dog spay surgery, you can expect your dog to be more active and less groggy compared to the initial days post-surgery. However, monitor the incision site for any signs of infection like redness, swelling, or discharge. Limit your dog's activity to prevent strain on the incision and schedule a follow-up with your vet to ensure proper healing. Continue any medications as prescribed and keep an eye on your dog’s appetite and behavior for any irregularities.
