So, when rescue pup came to us 2 months ago she had a tiny opening at the bottom of her scar from being spayed which looked to me like it just hadn't healed up properly and she was licking it a lot. Vet gave her antibiotics and said to give it time. Took her back to vets a few weeks later because didn't seem right and was given (very expensive) steroid cream which I may as well have squirted straight into her mouth because she just licked it off...so, took her to a new vet on Wednesday and thankfully they took a good look at it and reckon she's had a reaction to one stitch and she's on anti inflammatory meds and antibiotics and we've been told not to walk her for a week, just out for pees then lots of rest. I really want her to heal up because she may have to have the stitch removed and restitched if it doesn't but she and I are going stir crazy already and the poor cats are getting the brunt of all the unspent energy!
Anyone had similar? I know it's only a week just seems quite cautious when she's tearing round the house instead!
