| HELP! Is this normal??????? Mee-kah was spayed on May 15. Yesterday was the first time i bathed her since her surgery, after a little while of her bath, i noticed a pink little pimple. I touched it, it didn't bother her. Today, i looked at it in the morning and its the same. After i get back from work today and check it, it looked PURPLE!!!!!???? Is this normal? What should i do? I am very worried.. Please let me know, should i call the vet???? She is acting normal, playing with Sharpie (my other dog) and when i touched it, it didn't seem to bother her. I don't know what to think, can any one give me some advice? Thanks for reading.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | how come she still has sutures in? usually they get taken out 10-14 days after surgery. They don't look like disolvable ones to me. if they were they wouldn't be that perfect still this long after surgery. I'd take her to the vet to remove them and have that thing checked out.

| They are dis-solvable ones, when i picked her up after her surgery, they gave me paper work. It said that the sutures would fall off and no further follow up visits were needed...(is this normal?)

| I remember Muffin had a couple of those around her incision. It went away after a couple weeks. My Vet said it was normal.

| Chloe got a purple bruise near her incision site after her spay that kind of looked like that, it showed up the next day though, the vet said it was fine that some bruise more easily then others. However, since this showed up so late, I would certainly have that checked out because you need to rule out any kind of infection, especially with still having stitches in. I have never seen a vet put dissolveable stitches on the outside like that though Chloe had a HUGE incision because she had a biopsy at the same time as spay and her incision was almost completely healed at 2 weeks and you could barely see it by 3 weeks.

| I tugged at it a little bit and it moved forward, i didn't want to tug any more because i don't know if that is safe? But, i i also got my male neutered on May 19 with the same clinic. Sharpie had the same type of sutures, just his are already falling off??? i feel like i should of not gotten her spayed now im so worried. The reason i asked about if i should take her to a vat now is that the clinic i took her too closes at 5:00. They open tomorrow at 8:15 and i might be able to take her during my lunch time.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | It does appear to me that you have a small infection going on there. I don't think it's necessary to call the emergency vets, but I would definitely take her in first thing tomorrow. Keep an eye on it for any spreading of the redness, drainage or a foul odor. Dissolvable stitches should disappear on their own in about 2 weeks, but it isn't unheard of for them to take a month. |
