Is this healing properly 6 days since surgery.

Hi! Welcome!!

I think so, (--did they use pink stitching? I'm not sure what I'm seeing...) Can you send the photo to your vet to double-check that things are progressing as they expect?

Yes the stitches are pink.

5 days post surgery. is this normal? View attachment 375481View attachment 375481

While I am not a vet, it looks ok to me. Doesn't appear to be leaking or red and swollen. However, I might be able to guess that someone hasn't had the cone on the entire time. Kind of looks like the stitches have been locked/chewed at a bit. Just keep an eye on that. You don't want it reopening.

Thank you. She’s had her cone on the past 4 days without any problem but when i got home from work today I saw she managed to get it off so it worried me. Thank you!
