Chance Neuter Update
-
Wow, poor guys is right… I have never had that happen, even with a bitch that took out all but one stitch... years ago.... Was this a Vet that you had been to in the past?
We decided to take him to Adobe Animal Hospital.
My opinion is that Chance has always been a small boy. He had some health problems as a pup. I think he just has a weak immune system. Alex and I have paid special attention to him since the surgery…there is no way he could be aggravating it on his own. We have been watching him like a hawk. -

On Friday, I told my husband about Chance's surgery and how he had external stitches. One of his co-workers had her dobe neutered about a year ago. The vet she used also did the external stitches like Chance had. She had the same issues with swelling and with the fluid leaking, her dog took nearly a month to recover fully from the surgery.

and that is interesting that they used external stitches, that is the same place that Ann goes with Crystal and Kobey. When Crystal was spayed they did not use stitches, it was glued… maybe it depends on what Vet.... as they have a number of them. I know that Ann has to fight to make sure she sees the one Vet that she likes there

It is a little hard to tell but I didn't see any stitches that would have to be removed. Those are external stitches where you actually can see the stitches. Nicky was had internal stitches and glue. Some animals can have a reaction to the glue which may cause the redness but Chance looks really red in that picture.

Yeah, I thought I saw dissolving stitches…but that looks pretty bad; not so much the incision, but the surrounding skin looks really irritated; I am glad you followed up on it.
Side note: Tim looked over while I was viewing the pic...and he was like 'what in the h&ll are you looking at!!! nevermind...I don't want to know' He wouldn't give me the chance to explain!!!
