I am not sure if they did "external" stitching. I took a picture the other day due to it being so red. Here is a rather close up of the suture. He is still really swollen and red.
Yes this is odd…I don't usually take these types of pictures of my dog.

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.

His stitches should dissolve on their own.

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!!!

don't feel bad!!! A pic is worth a thousand words. I bet Chance would be honored to know so many people cared about what was going on with his tushy!

Not always. Rally has always remained firm in her belief that Nicky would never be the father of her puppies, EVER! She also would prefer that he not sire any of her grandchildren either, even if he is neutered.

Yeah….a couple of mine would NEVER fall into the "slut" category. More like the "nun" category ;)

Here is a question regarding a bitch in season.
At what age do bitches go into season generally. Is it after they are a year old or is it sooner.
Also, should I be training her to wear panties right now. God forbid…with her in season...our house will NOT look like it is too!
People have told me to just put blankets all over the place...I don't like that idea too much. -

She kept herself so clean the only places I ever saw blood were on her beds (removable covers), her crate blanket, and my comforter duvet (again removable) from while she was sleeping. There were a few spots on the wood floors, but otherwise, it really wasn't too bad. There was no way in heck Ruby would have ever stood for wearing any sort of pants so I didn't even try it.
