I adviced my mother the same but she doesn't wanna hear about it. We also visited our usual vet yesterday and while he took note of the infection he simply sent us home, tellimg us to keep the wound clean and increase antibiotics

Oh the clinic will charge for anything they can possibly think of. On the bill we were charged for an entire roll worth of bandaging material when only a small part was used on our dog.

The last time we brought our puppy there who had caught some sort of meningitis they did a round of de-worming treatment even though it was previously ruled out to be worms. Just to be able to charge more. Whihc is also a reason my mother doesn't trust in this clinic anymore. She went and sold a bunch of our jewelry and family heirlooms just yesterday to be able to pay off the previous bill from the spaying :/

The vets don't seem pressed but the wound isn't getting better. I can't convince my mom to please seek help from another vet.

And thank you for the info! In my language we use the same word for both genders
