Hi,

I don't see a pic but I will say that I experienced something similar when MySweetTed had his amputation.  Honestly I think there are things related to such a large surgery that are deeper inside the site that seem to rise to the surface after a couple of days....hopefully that makes sense.  I was a little freaked out when he had his surgery because I brought him home the same day and there were changes that were good and bad for about 4-5 days - and then I started to relax a bit, and so did he.  I hope all goes well with you and your sweet cricket.

That is great news  It is what I mentioned in my last post, but hard to see exactly where it is in comparison to her surgical site because each picture shows a partial area. When we prepped for surgery, we place a sterile cloth over the area of surgery to create a sterile "area" so to speak. The cloth has a slit like hole in the middle of it, which goes over the area that is operated on, and we placed clamps in 4 corners like a square, clamping the cloth to the skin so that it would not move and allow any bacteria to soil the area. Those clamps are a bit sharp and they make little pinches on the skin, kind of like if you were to put a clothespin on your arm, or anywhere for that fact. That was the first thing that popped into my mind because it can leave a bit of a bruise. But a sterile area is mandatory to perform surgery so that they don't get infected afterwards. Once the doc makes the incision there is no turning back so it is vital to keep that area as sterile as possible. That's why a lot of people go shave crazy with some animals, lol. They want to keep it all as sterile as they possibly can. 

I am glad it is not hurting her, and I am really glad you called your doc to check on it!
