REPLIED

Yes. This is pretty common following a spay. Keep an eye on it and you will probably see it start to dissipate over the next few days.

If it lasts longer than a few days, you will want to see your vet to have them take a look.

Let me know if you still have questions.

ACCEPTED

You are more than welcome! If the vet has seen it and is not concerned, you are probably in the clear. These lumps are pretty common following a spay.

Don't forget to accept an answer if my answers were helpful to you. If not, feel free to ask more questions.
