We had Coby's sutures removed two weeks after his neuturing. A few weeks later, the incision, while previously looking all completely healing, started to swell a little. Coby started licking and messing with it, turning it red, and then it started scabbing. ... exactly how you described it.... like flea dirt.
I took him in, and the vet said that it was one of the internal stitches not dissolving correctly. He gave him a shot of antibiotic and told me to put neosporin on it for a few days. He said it's quite common and not serious. Coby was fine in a couple of days.
Hope that helps........ |
