BauersMom Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Ms. Puzzle Patch was in for her spay on Monday. Now she's developed this: It's a sack of fluid, and it looks like blood or bruising. Any ideas? Quote With Buster Bloof (UCME Razorback 89B-51359) and Gingersnap Ginny (92D-59450). Missing Pepper, Berkeley, Ivy, Princess and Bauer at the bridge.

BauersMom Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hematoma or bleeding. I'd get it looked at ASAP. She's going to the vet in the AM, definitely. We can go the e-vet route, but most that I've consulted with thought the morning was ok? Quote With Buster Bloof (UCME Razorback 89B-51359) and Gingersnap Ginny (92D-59450).

Guest mcsheltie Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Is that pooling blood? Can you get her on her back and take a picture looking down on the incision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 That's not by her incision. I'd at least want bloodwork tonight.

BootsyCollins Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 My mom's dog ruptured her inner stitches after her spay and it was similar. Was bleeding into her abdominal cavity. My mom went the e-vet route, but I don't know if that was absolutely necessary or not. The ended up reopening the wound restitching everything, then had to sedate her for a week while she healed. She's fine now. Sending prayers that everything is ok.

Guest 3greysinPA Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I would also check cap refill in her gums.... and probably go to E vet just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BauersMom Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Is that pooling blood? Can you get her on her back and take a picture looking down on the incision? Can't - but only because she's not my foster. I have a few other pictures, but none show the incision. Foster home says the incision itself is unremarkable. That's not by her incision. I'd at least want bloodwork tonight. I know, it's no where near her incision! I'll see what I can do about getting her seen tonight. Here's the wider shot, showing her full side: My mom's dog ruptured her inner stitches after her spay and it was similar. Was bleeding into her abdominal cavity. My mom went the e-vet route, but I don't know if that was absolutely necessary or not. The ended up reopening the wound restitching everything, then had to sedate her for a week while she healed. She's fine now. Well... crap. That does sound like something that would cause this sort of pooling, doesn't it. Quote With Buster Bloof (UCME Razorback 89B-51359) and Gingersnap Ginny (92D-59450).

Batmom Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Sorry, I left out 9/10ths my thought process. Would be ugly if it were by her incision, but not being by it makes me wonder if something else Not Nice is going on. Although it could be as CMoon describes. Creepy in any case. Hope it turns out to be one big nothing.

Guest 3greysinPA Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 It could be a bruise from the surgery... i used to work in the OR... and sometimes you can get bruising on the skin if someone was leaning on her chest or resting an arm there ... Did it appear suddenly??? Could be old blood, not sure, would need to see her to be sure... again .. check her gums? I dont know if i would be able to sleep tonight.. I dont know. Sorry, I left out 9/10ths my thought process. Would be ugly if it were by her incision, but not being by it makes me wonder if something else Not Nice is going on. Although it could be as CMoon describes. Creepy in any case. Hope it turns out to be one big nothing. Ditto that... i hope it turns out to be nothing.. however... it is very odd... and I may have to take her to the E vet to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BauersMom Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 No, didn't appear suddenly, it gradually got worse. Today it actually started looking like a "sack" of fluid, before it was looking more like just some bruising. It actually hangs down from her chest. I just sent an message to the foster home... not sure if she's still up or what at this point...will see what I can do.

Guest mcsheltie Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) That's not by her incision. I'd at least want bloodwork tonight. We've had pooling blood down the body line into the back legs, under the front legs and none by the incision. Also directly under the body, which looked like a big bag when she was standing up. It can go anywhere. That's why I asked if it was blood. I should have added... or does it feel solid? I think ruptured inner sutures are e vet material. It needs to get stitched back up right away. If you let it wait the tissue becomes necrotic. If it is pooling blood she needs Amicar ASAP. Is she running a fever?
