Weird Bump So tomorrow it's been 1 month since Zero got spayed and she has like this little bump at the bottom of where the stitches were. My mom's female dogs have these to and have had them for years with nothing wrong. Silver never got one and doesn't have one. But I was playing with Zero today and she was on her back and this same bump that I wasn't so worried about is now a little red around it. So I called my mom to come down and take a look since she is a big animal lover, and an RN, and she said it was hard and looks like she could have a hernia. I am calling the vet tomorrow to talk to them but I wanted you all's opinion on what it could possibly be. And if it is a hernia could it have occurred from being spayed?? |
Sounds like it could be a suture reaction which is very common. Of course, if your mom said hernia, I suppose that could be. Taking her to the vet is definitely in order. Good luck and let us know how it goes! |

Well we just called the vet since they were closed for lunch and my mom and gf are taking her down there now so I will keep you all informed when I find out what it is. |
So they are back from the vet and they said it was a stitch that wasn't coming out and it's causing an infection. They tried to get the stitch out but it's not coming so they popped it and drained the area and gave us antibiotics (Biomox(amoxicillin)) and said to do warm compresses also and that it should go away fine since I brought her in as soon as I noticed it. |

She had me scared. I mean she was being her normal self, playing, eating, trying to kill Silver...and it just started turning red yesterday morning out of nowhere so I freaked out a little bit. But I'm glad it's nothing she has to have surgery for. |

I too am happy all is well! :) |
I am glad you took her in and it was nothing serious. It's always best to take them in and know for sure. |
