collie/grey 238 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 My lurcher bitch was spayed 11 days ago, she had her stitches out yesterday, i was wondering wether the vets cocked up on it, it was a locum vet that did it as my usual vet was on holiday and hes the only one that i really trust with my dogs. The nurse said that she had had an alergic reaction to the stiching material. Some of the wound is still slightly open and it has been oozing a little blood. Has anyone seen a spay wound like it before? My other bitch was spayed 4 years ago when she had a c section and hers was fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,261 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 11 days post op the wound should be healing well if the area if getting increasingly inflamed it could be 2nd to an infection (hard to tell from photo) if your normal vet is back i would go back and get their opinion.

collie/grey 238 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 The pic makes it look alot worse, but it's still a crap job, shes going down on saturday for a check up with my original vet. It's not bothering her at all though. Shes on antibiotics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oldskool Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 it will be interesting to hear wat ur original vet has to say, i think it looks a bit like amatuer hour to me. if the dog was having an allergic reaction to the stiching material then the sensible thing for the vet to do is to take the stitching out and perhaps use staples or something instead... im not a vet so i wont pretend to know wat i am talking about but i know i wouldnt be happy with that job.
