Wow. That is a nightmare. I'm so sorry. You have had a really rough three weeks. I'm afraid I don't have experience to share, but I will say that it took Gracie a lot longer to heal after her surgery than I expected. Now (4 months later) you can't even see a scar. Ya'll hang in there. Let us know how it goes.

thanks for your kind words. Our vet said that he saw no signs of infection, and he believed it was just a reaction to the inside stitches. Her body was not accepting and trying to push them out. He replaced them with Stainless Steel stitches, we are hoping that this works. She had alot of bleeding last night, the vet said that had to do with having to open her incision again. She will now have outside stitches for 2 more weeks, she has the cone collar, is wrapped around the middle with a bandage for the next 2 days, to help keep things together. Our vet wants her to wear the cone until the stitches come out :shock: 2 weeks! Having opened her twice, it is harder for the incision to heal this time, and we need to protect that area until it does heal.
Needless to say, she is not at all happy about the situation - especially the cone collar.
....it will be a long 2 weeks.....
