Minnie's incision site looks much improved. Small lump still there - could be fluid? She has a few red scabby scores around the area but not directly on the incision. Going to bring her to the vet in a while! She slept well and is well in herself!

Minnie is improved today! The swelling and redness has gone down. Brought her to the vet just to be safe and the incision isn't infected but the vet gave a steroid cream for the red sores. Hopefully now she'll continue to improve. No more movement or cone-lessness from now! Will keep you all updated :-)

I'm so glad that everything is healing correctly. Thanks for the update have a great weekend.

Minnie is doing really well, everything is healing nicely! It's hard to keep her quiet and resting by now though. And the stitches don't come out until July 30th. My only problem is there is still a noticeable hernia-like firm lump still there. I'm going to say it to them when I bring her back to have her stitches removed. It's in the same location. And what annoys me is, they didn't put any mesh in to stop the hernia happening again. If it is another hernia, I'm just going to leave her with it - couldn't put her through all that again. I feel really upset at the thought of going through it all and it just seems to have not been repaired correctly or else grown back!

I hope the lump it's only part of the healing process.

Document everything, notes, take pictures etc. I was concerned before when she "got" a hernia after a spay operation right along the incision line. If they did surgery again to correct this, and it has not been corrected, well I am sorry but the air around me would be going a very deep blue.

A second opinion might just be in order here.
