Dog spay rejecting sutures

[Worriedmamma19]

my dog was speyed over a month ago the wound did not close in one area and after two weeks an internal stitch was pulled out from the wound. That then healed for about 4 days before another area became red and opend up leaking fluid. Vet has given antibiotics and said another stitch will be pushing out and the wound could open up to an inch!
I’m horrified! It feels like it will keep opening up untill all the stitches push themselves out? Has anyone experienced this?
please tell me this will be ok as I’m really worrying now.
photo is the new area just before it opened on the scar line.

It will be fine. I’m a vet and it does happen occasionally that a stitch reaction causes the dog to effectively keep getting a sore until the stitches are out. I have occasionally had to remove the remaining stitches under sedation or anaesthetic but the actual muscle will have healed and the skin will soon close once the sutures are out.

Thank you! I been crying today as it’s the second hole that’s opened felt like it would keep opening until they are all out, will some of them dissolve she won’t reject them all?
she’s such a sweet girl I feel so sad for her.

Would you expect it to look worse than this for them to need to be removed under sedation? I’m hoping we wouldn’t have to do that 😬

My dog was spayed in the November. She kept getting little openings along the incision line and we were told she needed more time to heal. Finally in the January a vet nurse saw her and pulled out a suture that was poking through the skin.
next thing she was booked in for the following morning to have surgery to remove the completely undissolved sutures and have new ones made from a different material put in.
This worked and all was fine. The vet said it was a career first to not have sutures dissolve.

Thanks I really hope she won’t need them all removing seems like it’s allot more to recover from and more expense as well.
I’m glad yours has recovered
