It looks wrong, it looks bad to me
I took a few pics of Beatrice's incision. They came out a bit blurry but I
couldn't get better ones this evening. To me it looks very strange and I am worried. Please let me know what you think. I could maybe get better pics in the morning when there is more light. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pat_mo...bum?.dir=/8244 |

It looks a little puffy or it's a fold of skin down towards the bottom. I see an arc at the bottom but it could be a fold of skin. If it's not open, weeping or bleeding and she is acting normal I wouldn't worry about it but have it checked tomorrow. You could also call an emergency vet and describe it to them and see what they think. Best wishes for you and Beatrice. The furry twosome Andy and Mary are purring away for little Bea. Rrb |

We are sending lots and lots of recovery purrs for little Beatrice, though, and hope she heals fast and perfectly. ------ Krista |

It does look a little odd but without seeing and feeling it in person I really cannot tell if you are really that concerned a trip to the vet wouldn't hurt. Better safe than sorry. We get clients like that every now and then too. hope this helps, Kristi |

Please let me know what you think. I could maybe get better pics in the morning when there is more light. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pat_mo...bum?.dir=/8244 Nocturne had a problematic incision. The stitches split open inside, giving her a hernia. Her symptoms we shivering/shuddering, refusal to pee or poo for over 24 hours (actually in Nox's case it was over 48 before they got her to pee and longer for poo), not wanting to move off the bed not even for food, and trying to press her belly against anything cold ie the back of the toilet, the sink, the stove. If Bea is doing any of this, take her to the vet at once. At any rate, if you are worried, go to the vet and get some peace of mind. When we took Nox, it was a weekend. The first two vets we called told us it was "normal post spay symptoms." But when we saw Nox shivering like that and pressing her belly to the toilet back where she'd never been before, we kept at it. The third vet took her in, and she got emergency surgery the next day and is now fine. Purrs for Bea. --Fil |

Things to look out for are puss and other fluids leaking out. I agree with Victor. My Chloe had quite a bit of puffiness and I was afraid of infection, so I took her back to the vet. They said it would most likely be fine, but it was right of me to check. All it was was that her skin had a reaction to the sutures, but since enough time had elapsed, they removed the sutures on that visit to avoid possible infection. The wound drained for about a full week after, but she's been fine. (That was almost a year ago.) Keep us posted......... kili |

The thing to watch out for is swelling. If it is larger than a walnut, there may be a problem (i.e., grapefruit size tells you "Go back to the vet immediately!). Continuing purrs for Beatrice's recovery and your nerves (believe me, I was a wreck when Merlyn was spayed -- lol!).
