Poor maddie

I dont have any experience with spaying a dog as my Jess was spayed when we got her and Poppy is still to young.
But I can give you this input about internal stitches...
Last year I had an operation to remove a birthmark on my leg for medical reasons and I had dissolving stitches both internal and external.
I had both because it was on my shin and they needed to do two sets of stitches to make sure it didnt open up because there isnt much give on the skin on your shin so it was very tight.
Anyway it opened up and started to weep and I was told that it was because the external stitches heal much quicker then the internal ones and sometimes they can open up because both are not fully healed.
It did eventually heal it just took a bit longer. (I know this dosnt have much to do with spaying a dog lol but maybe the stitches heal in the same sort of way Im not sure) Just make sure the area is kept clean so it dosnt get infected and it should heal quickly

Poor little Maddie has been through so much. I'm very glad you're there to watch out for her and take such good care of her. Sending prayers that this infection will heal quickly. And sending her some gentle hugs from me and my gang.

OMG, poor Maddie. I just can't imagine one little dog having so much trouble. Is the old vet paying all her expenses? She should!

We'll keep her in our thoughts.

maddieadoptedme · 08-04-2010, 10:30 AM

so far so good ( i hope)

And No im not Paying for any treatment for her at the new vet---a small part of my terms and conditions for the screw up with the old vet.

TwoforFun · 08-04-2010, 10:53 AM

I'm sorry Maddie and yourself are going through this. Lots of positive energy your way. XOXO

Lizzie07 · 08-04-2010, 12:06 PM

I just can't imagine, I bet you were no sooner getting over your rage at that vet and now this.
