Good Day
I am going to try and keep this as short and to the point as I can. Any advice is appreciated.
We recently had our newest rescue (Ajax) neutered. The facility we adopted him from did not neuter or spay any of their adoptable animals , but did provide a voucher. The state we now live in is not as animal forward as the one from which we moved.
Everything went fine and Ajax was doing quite well after surgery for the first 5 days. They did not send us home with an e-collar and though it crossed my mind, I do trust our vet. On the 5th day (of course a Sunday) he began overly grooming the healing incision and some how pulled part of the scrotal sack through the very tiny incision.
We took him back to our vet the very next morning where they gave him a antibiotic/steroid shot, 10 day course of antibiotics and an e-collar. Our vet who is a country vet, and has seen a great many things had never seen this before. Of course if it is bizarre, unusual and rare it is going to happen in our family.
My question is has anyone seen or had this experience?
If so how long did it take to heal and how did it heal?
My husband and I are in disagreement. He feels that we are going to have to take Ajax back and have the small part of the sack surgically removed. Were I feel (rather hope) that it will heal on its own to a point where Ajax will no longer be compelled to over groom or chew on it.
Again any advice or wise words are welcome and appreciated.
