Thank you Holly! I would love to know how you do that with the link instead of the picture. Thank you also jerry, a lot of the two say similar things. I had not found that article, but when I got the handout I was concerned for anybody else that didn't have that information. 

I have to re-inspect his incision this morning. His fur is growing back, and if I massage it I don't feel scabs or roughness, but when he was laying on his side last night I noticed an area that just looks a little different. I don't know if it was too dark, but he lost his patience with me quickly so I am going to look with David so that we may get a better look of it. It almost looks a little pink on one end, I don't know if this is the cause of his behavior. I did notice last night that he is licking the surgical area more than he was, but I did not see any open irritation. I got a better video last night, you can see how he stops to clean and then goes on. 

I am convinced that this is definitely an issue, and there are times that I have tried to touch his little "side car" and he turned quickly to let me know we were not going to do this right now 

Thank you! I have not tried that little link yet, now I know what it is for 

I checked his healing boo boo and it looks pretty good! I had to,  ahem.. be alpha and that writhing well too.  Back in the day I was more insistent , now i am more passive.  I had to throw the passive on the back burner for a minute and "grow some"

After Huckleberry, mama, and papa had a meeting of the minds,  or something to that effect,  we layed him over on his side in a well lit area and mama thoroughly inspected the area.  One end of the incision line has always been a little thicker.  I think that's where she closed up and had to gather the last bit of skin to secure the area.  That's the last area healing. It's a little pink but otherwise looks great. I agree,  fur is growing back, its the last exposed area and probably a little more sensitive. 

He was so cute,  I got the "you are NOT going there" look...I said" yes I am,  be still" his reaction was oh crap,  ok, just do it already and get it done.  David talked to him,  he relaxed and stopped fighting... amazing!!
