Pheebs was spayed on Tuesday. When I picked her up they said there was a little bit of oozing from the wound and just to clean the area with warm salt water. I did this the first day, yesterday there was no ooze.

But I just noticed a bit of ooze this evening. It's a tiny bit of thin clear fluid with a pinkish tinge, same as on day 1. I cleaned it off, but I'm worrying. There's no swelling.

She's going to the vet for post op check in the morning, but I'm worrying slightly...

Anyone else experienced ooze?

Sorry cant be of much help,but didnt want to read and run.If there is no swelling/heat or bleeding I would imagine there is nothing wrong.If your worried you could give the vet a ring to ask for advice.Hope she's ok.

No, no swelling or heat or bleeding. She's running about like a mad thing as per usual. Will keep an eye on things for a couple of hours.

i had this with one female of mine Ezzie, she had a build up of fluid, but i could see that, if it is just a tiny bit i would not worry, you are going to have her checked out tomorrow, so only if it swells gets hot or starts to bleed would i worry,

My little girl was spayed today, she is still very doppy, but wants out so tonight she will be sleeping in her crate.
she will be back to normal tomorrow i hope .

Sounds ok to me...

Signs of problems are:

* Excessive Heat
* If the would looks more raw or inflammed
* Yellow or green 'ooze'. Clear, straw coloured or slightly pink is ok.
* Swelling on or around the wound
* If the would develops any 'holes'

Good luck at the vets
