Worried meowmie!

[catnapper]

I was upstairs playing with Flutter when she rolled over and something caught my eye: her amputated leg looked red, I looked closer and saw a suture sticking out of her leg, and it seems to be inflamed and a slight watery substance is coming out.

I called the vet and we have an appointment first thing tomorrow morning, and in the meantime I'm going to be a mess worrying that she'll do something to the suture tonight that would rip the thread out, open the wound, etc.

Attached is a photo of the suture - I don't want anyone to click the attachement who might be grossed out by it.

Poor little princess, she's been through so much. I pray its nt getting infected, though I DO have Clavimox on hand shold they tell me she needs to be medicated for an infection.

Going to the vet is the best thing you can do! Maybe Flutter only hurt herself a bit by falling on her scar??
Keep us updated
GOOG LUCK FLUTTER

Poor little girl...does it seem to bother her? Is she licking it or doing anything that might indicate it is hurting her?

At least you can find out tomorrow (I know, you will be anxiety-ridden all night!).

Keep us posted!!

Wonder if it is a suture that was supposed to dissolve - and didn't? I had back surgery 22 years ago, and have had 3 sutures come to the surface over the years. Very annoying.

Interesting. I will be waiting to find out what the vet thinks.

Of course you're worried, Meowmie. That's completely understandable. Good to know your vet will see her in the morning. Let's think positive, it's really nothing serious going on. That has to be terribly annoying to our sweet little Flutter. Please let us know what your vet says.

At first glance I would say not infected that it just maybe a sepage from the suture. I would dab it with some peroxide which is a universal wound cleaner.

Maybe it's a suture that was overlooked earlier by the Vet. I hope
they can remove it & Flutter heals up quickly.

Poor sweet widdle Flutter. It doesn't look too serious Kim, but I'm very glad that you will seeing the vet tomorrow morning.

Give that sweet girl a big kiss for me and sending big cyber ((((((HUGS)))))) to you.
