How Long Until a Spayed Female Dog Recovers?

Generally, a female dog recovers about 7-10 days after spay surgery, provided the wound does not become infected. After surgery, provide good post-operative care: put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent her from scratching or licking the wound, and apply an antiseptic to the wound daily to avoid infection.

In addition, to help the wound heal smoothly, keep it dry.
