Hi, I am concerned by dog got a seroma after she had her leg amputated 4 weeks ago.  The vet said it would reabsorb after awhile, and warm compresses.   I noticed yesterday it is firming up and not like  water balloon anymore.  Is this normal?  Thanks

No, but there may be no cause for alarm either. You might just be feeling fluid reabsorbing into new muscle growth.

Please consult your vet and consider registering so your posts do not require moderation.
