is that normal? I see a bit a white from where the drain once was. the rest of the incision looks very clean and clear, but the base of it looks irritated and the skin is swollen.
going to vet late in the day tomorrow but wanted to see how others' pups healed. thank you!
Doubt that it is anything to worry about at all. Good for you though for being so observant and pro-active. .May just be some scar tissue starting to form. Regardless, this way, by having the Vet look at it...IF...IF...IF... IF....it's a bit of infection, you can nip it in the butt!
Update us tomorrow after the appt.

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Hi there
i just wanted to chime in with Sally in regards to how your pup is doing. I hope you were able to get some definitive answers from your vet?
My Stewie had a pretty significant seroma complication during his recovery and so he had a bit of a floppy lump at the base of his scar for some time afterwards. otherwise he has a ‘top lump’ and a ‘bottom lump’ that are his scars ‘dog ears’. We always tell him that he has four ears not two! Ha!
Anyhow all the best for further recovery and we look forward to hearing some pawsive results!
