Problem after getting dog spayed

    My dog got spayed on Wednesday and she's been at home since Thursday's. Ever since she has had to go to the loo every 30mins -2 hrs no 1 + 2s and having frequent accidents inside. She never had accidents before maybe once in a blue moon but it would be my fault for keeping her in to long. Any ideas what it could be and fixed?

    Get onto your vet. S/he may have nicked something; might be operable
    Could be anything else either so don't freak; but definitely ring your vet & log it with them.

    V sorry to hear this.

    Who did the work?

    I would ring the vet - my dog was spayed a month ago and there were no issues re. needing to go toilet more frequently - I am sure all is ok with your dog but I dont think its normal to need the loo so often.

    Could be a UT infection. Very possible after spaying. How old is your dog??

    Go back to the vet as soon as possible.

    Shes a year and a half old beagle. I never let her into heat once to minimise the chance of her getting preventable cancers and got it done in a vet in athlone but I trust the vet

    Give the vet a call, I have had a number of males and females neutered whose toileting habits became erratic for a while after the op, so it can happen. I assume it's a result of post-op discomfort.
    But to be on the safe side, give your vet a call.

    I'd say to call your vet if you're worried, but it could be something to do with the after effects of the anaesthetic.
