Hi friends, my pup Marley has been back home for a week after amp. I noticed that part of her wound, incision area has puffed, like pearl necklace and little bit red. I am wondering if it is seroma
? 
If so, what can I do for her? Please help!!!

Check with your vet, but in the meantime, you can apply a warm compress to the area, 10-15 mins at a time, 3-4 times a day.
Hope that helps.
Right hind limb amputated 7/3/12 for OSA, started on alternating cycles of Carboplatin and Doxorubicin and oral Palladia. Single lung met 9/1. Met in the neck muscle removed 9/30. Large mass in sublumbar lymph node 10/2. Rescue chemo with ifosfamide 10/6. Mets to the rib and axillary lymph node 10/21. Started Leukeran and Pred 10/25. Wookie left this Earth for a far better place on 12/4/12. I miss you, Boo, you were my heart.
We had to have Jerry's seroma drained once. They are usually no cause for concern.
Follow the seroma link or watch our video about common complications for more information.
