For so many days I was not sure if that bit of swelling and reddened tissue on the edge of the wound margin would begin to grow and look cancerous (the way it happened after her first surgery) or if it would go down and improve. I felt it would probably happen one way or another this week, so I have been watching it like a hawk with my heart hammering every time I looked. Well yesterday it finally seemed to turn a corner.. for the better! I am feeling more (cautiously) optimistic finally. If the vet is pleased with tomorrow's check I will feel even better. I will attach a photo from April 30 (Monday) when it was reddened and more swollen and I was so worried about it, and then the shots I got yesterday where it is definitely improved! The 'stuff' in the wound are the sutures dissolving and losing their color, it looks a bit like hair or plastic stuck there but it is the sutures dissolving. Feeling so much more hopeful now!
