To spay or not to spay

[stewball]

Good grief!  Mine had always been home as soon as they have recovered from the anasthetic (that doesn't take long) and they have been just fine.  I am in the UK, though, so it's a flank spay which might be easier to get over.

What do you mean a flank spay?

Good grief. I don't think I've heard that expression since I left Britain.

But the only reason that worries me is that she has fleas... When i looked at her shaved area i saw one of them. I'm afraid of that the fleas could cause a problem in the incision. I hope the liquid that i clean the scar, could keep them away from the scar.

So glad she is spayed now, but what are you doing or planning to do about the fleas?  If you can see them remember they are the tip of the iceberg.  There are many, many more eggs, larvae and pupae in your home.

The good news is that since she doesn't go out you should be able to let up on the flea control once you've cleared them, but as the second link explains it can take time because the pupae are not affected by any of the sprays.  Look at the 'Pupal Window' link for more on that, but read all of it.  Although it's a flea spray maker's website it has very good clear information about how to get rid of fleas.
