It's important to notify your vet of side effects promptly to prevent these issues from worsening, as well as provide relief for your dog. Although some discomfort is to be expected, serious problems require attention. Reasons to contact a vet promptly include the incision opening up for any reason, or if discharge, redness, and swelling are present, as all could indicate an infection risk. It is also important to contact a veterinarian if a digestive issue like diarrhea, vomiting, or decreased appetite occurs. Lethargy is another possible symptom of concern that should receive attention from a veterinarian, as it may indicate a more serious issue.
