Gus had a little one, and that is what the vet said it was. The vet told me to try and keep him calm so as to avoid that happening or he would have to put a drain in it. I can't tell you if they would reopen it or they might try to use a syringe and draw it out, don't really know for sure. I'm just going to speculate that some of the uncomfortableness might be from the pressure of the fluid, of course there would still be bruising at the site. As long as it is clear fluid and not pussy, or if you are noticing a bad smell at the incision or a redness,I don't think you have to worry about infection, although the bruising might give it some red look also. Hope that helps somehow, Spirit Gus andDan

Cooper had this and then it progressed into the opened spot below the incision, seroma is not uncommon I dont think from what I have read. but as Dan says , please watch it carefully for redness and any bad smell. It always pays to really be vigilant until the healing is well established. We are all sending pawsitive thoughts your way!

Thank ya'll so much. the vet opens back up tommorow i'll give him a call then. Suprisingly the site looks really good. No bruising, no redness just looks like a real long scar, as opposed to his last surgery which wasn't too pretty. So I'm not to worried about infection, just know that has to be uncomfortble, as others have said with all the pressure. But hopefully the body will do it's job and reabsorb the fluid. don't want my baby to have any more pain. Thanks
