I hope you can find something that soothes it, mine was very much like a really bad burn; it blistered and scabbed over. I imagine the longer the tape is on the skin, the worse the burn.

You are absolutely correct in assuming the damage is already done even prior to the removal of the adhesive bandage.

A friend of mine has a similar reaction after a breast biopsy and you can just imagine how painful to have this kind of damage to such tender tissue under a breast...definitely made for an awful time of healing and trying to keep that area dry & aired out.

oh your poor baby. thank you for posting this. it's helpful for me because i'm thinking of getting my baby spayed as well. your post will help prevent other yorkies from suffering anything similar. i would have cried as well, sigh - this hurts me just looking at the pictures!

Thank you for all the concerns for once again
And I would like to thank Mom to Hot Rod for offering a soft collar for Sugar's future surgery usage (Sugar has hernia...I really hope there's no 2nd surgery needed), Thank you! Sugar and I are very happy to know all of you

I am glad that Sugar is feeling better. That was so nice of Mom to Hot Rod! There are so many kind people on YT!

I snapped this pic today, the little "black dots" are actually dried blood. I'm thinking to give her a bath today or tomorrow...she didn't shower for more than 14 days, but right now I'm thinking if it's OK to give her a shower now...

I used to work in a recovery room after the pets would come out of surgery and I have NEVER seen a cut that long usually its only a TINY little line for a spay maybe 3 stitches to close. am i the only one seeing this?

[AbbysMom08]

I'm just now seeing this.
I am so sorry your little one had to go through this.
It's good to hear (and see) that she is doing much better.

Poor baby! I am so happy to read she is doing better. I know are are relieved and feeling better too!

Yes, I noticed the big cut too... according to the vet, the surgeon tried to check the condition of Sugar's hernia, could it be the reason?

[violet voon]

The photo earlier wasn't the exact condition, photo taken under daylight is so different from indoor under fluorescent light. Just in case some of you may wonder

Glad to see she is healing well.
