i'm glad zoe is doing good. i know when we got our rat terrier spayed her incision looked like that. it does get better when the swelling goes down. but you can feel on her stomach and there is a little ridge where they gathered the skin. but her hair grew back and you can't see it.
i don't think mine had stitches on the outside because i didn't have to take her back to the vet. I'm sure she'll be fine........she has a good mommy to take care of her.
