The only thing I can think of that may have caused it to come open is, my niece came over last night, Maggy adores her and gets so excited when she sees her. I put her in her kennel when she came in the back door and went out of the bedroom hoping Maggy would stay calm, but she heard her voice and then I heard Maggy start whining for her. I came in the bedroom and she was all excited and wiggles and jiggles and jumped up in her kennel. I hurried and grabbed her out and had my niece to sit down on the floor so Maggy would calm down, she did, but now I'm wondering if that's when it split open. It's the top layer that is open. The doc told me there's layers of stitches under the skin and he used surgical glue on the outside layer. God I hope she doesn't have to go back in for surgery, I'm so scared. I need to calm down, for Maggy, I think I'm scaring her. She's sitting here in my lap and was shivering. I have a blanket on her. She eats and drinks fine and her poo is getting thicker since she's been eating her hard kibble. I hope they give her antibiotics, I don't want it to get infected. God I'm so scared. |
Everything should be okay.
I know, easy for me to say.
Since it looks like just the top layer, maybe they can reglue it without anesthesia. Too much activity could've caused it, but every dog and every incision is different. Ellie jumped down about 2.5 or 3 feet off of a hard surface a day or two after her spay and she was fine, so it is hard to say.
