I got Luna spayed about...a month, 2 months ago now?
I'd notice something a bit rough when I'd pick her up but thought it was maybe some of the scab that had formed, and I could never really examine her because she HATES her tummy being touched, but finally with my friend and my boyfriend over we were able to hold her down so I could have a look, and it's stitches!
But not the stitches which were originally on the outside wound, I think it's stitches from inside. When I had her done the vet explained to me that there were 3 layers of stitches, one on the outside, and 2 on the inside.
I think it's from one of the inside layers.
What do I do? I know the vet is going to try to blame me for not noticing sooner - but I can't help it, Luna can be very agressive (she draws blood from me on a regular basis!) and she does not like her belly being touched AT all, and there's not much I can do about that.
Could it be bad for her? I was under the impression they should dissolve, but this seems to be well stuck...argh!
