Zephyr's spay incision got infected. According to the vet it is "normal" for her breed to get infections because they're such an active dog. I certainly wasn't expecting it! It didn't start until about a week ago, three-ish weeks after her surgery. It got REALLY swollen and very fluid filled, but not draining. I was worried, so I had my boyfriend take her to the vet at the first possible moment. But like I said the vet just said it was normal and sent him away (thank god they didn't charge me for that, I was planning on signing over my first born for money to pay her vet bill if she had one). *I* personally think that they drained it with a needle and didn't tell us because it looked SOOooo much less swollen when they came back. But they didn't say they did.

Now it's just angry-red looking, but not swollen and pussy looking (thank god). Her scar is really thick and shiny and the area around it is peeling from the swelling. My poor baby is such a trooper though. The whole time she's running around and acting just like her normal silly self. You could tell it hurt her from the way she sat, but that was the only thing that changed.

I think it was the stitches that caused it. They didn't all fall out and I think that the knot irritated the wound and opened it up again.

But she's her normal self. I had a lapful of kitty and puppy last night which is a miracle that they weren't trying to eat eachother. (My white cat is vicious if she wants to be).
