Betty’s wound looked a bit better after the glue on Sunday at the vets, but it’s now come open again, I can’t believe how badly this is going.
I can’t tell if it’s infected or just trying to scab back over but it’s a bit leaky with some blood. Any thoughts?
Any effect the glue had has now seemingly gone.
The first photo had a strong flash so that photo looks a lot more yellow than it does in real life. The second photo is without a flash.
I tried to gently dab some saline solution on the area but I didn’t soak it or scrub in case that makes it worse.
I’ll send another photo to the vets first thing but wondered if anyone has any thoughts on what’s happening? I am worried she’ll need more stitches, esp as she doesn’t get on great with GA which I guess she’s need for stitches?
In herself she’s seemingly doing well and gaining weight etc. She didn’t appreciate me fiddling but otherwise doesn’t seem to be in pain generally judging by how she’s moving around. She is almost her old self again personality wise.
She’s still on baytril, metacam and gabapentin which she has been since the op.
We’re trying really hard to avoid handling her but also need to check this wound at least once a day and the only angle you can get a good view of it seems to make it gape, which isn’t great.
We have a follow up on Friday with our main exotic vet but may now need to go in earlier I’m wondering?
Any thoughts or advice or reassurance welcome!
Thanks
