I wonder if Mack has any idea not only how loved but how very many people love him and are following his lil life from afar...7 here!

Kendra, I don't know about an incision that size. I'm glad to hear he's doing so well. That must have been a challenging bath.

Hmmm...Well, Im sure my vet wont take them out if they arent ready...Its just weird that it doesnt look like its closing at all....

so glad that little Mac is making a great speedy recovery. He really is a special little guy...

Wound healing has a lot of factors that need to be considered-one important one is nutrition. Mack has been pretty sick and probably hasn't gotten his protein stores up to normal, so it will take a little longer with him. Your vet will be able to look at and feel incision line to tell if the wound is able to hold together. He has been one sick little boy but thankfully things are getting better.

Thanks and that makes sense!! I called and visited with my vet today about it...I am going to take him in Friday just to have him take a look and see what he thinks...As great as Mack is doing, I would hate to prematurely take out the sutures and risk problems!!!

Hugs little Mack we are just checking on you. About stitches,, hummm you know medical stuff is not my thing, but I know when Zacky had a block in his bowel, his incision looked kind of like the skin wasn't touching making a little gap. Doc said that it was fine, the internal tissues were already healed. Maybe that is what it is. I am sure the Vet can tell what is going on when he sees Mack on Fri.

That sounds just like Mack!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I was out of town and with out power so I am just catching up on sweet Mack. I am happy to hear he is doing so much better. Sending prayers for his continued recovery.

teacup0819 · 11-09-2011, 05:46 AM

Maybe because its such a large incision, it will just take longer to heal .... i'm sure your vet won't take out the stitches before he is healed.

SO happy to hear that Mack is feeling so much better....he is a special little guy.

Wow~what an ordeal Mack has been through & conquered!!

I'm so glad he is doing so great!!
