Randy's surgical incision looks funny

Randy got his staples removed today. On his abdomen, to the left of the incision line there looks to be a fluid pocket. Today is the first time I noticed it and of course the office is closed now. At first I thought it was part of the lipoma that didn't get removed but now it looks and feels like a fluid pocket. Any advice?
 
I would make sure he does not play with it, and call the vet in the morning and explain what you've found. They will know what to do I am sure. Let us know what happens.
 
My Internet research tells me it is probably a seroma, a fluid filled pocket that sometimes developes around the scar. It might resolve on it's own, or it might have to be drained. I'll take him to the vet tomorrow.
 
Good luck with that. I'm sure that its scary and of course, your pup can't tell you how he feels about it.


I'm actually trying VERY hard not to be anxious about Angus. We will pick him up tomorrow morning following his neutering. When Indy was neutered he acted as if nothing happened other than I wasn't with him for the majority of the day. I dropped him off in the morning and picked him up in the evening. Two days later he participated in a fund-raising 10K walk (with approval from the vet). I'm hoping that Angus is as nonchalant about his procedure. With so many other dogs in the house; I'm concerned about rough-housing.
 
Well wishes!!

Please keep us updated as to what the vet says about Randy!
Janet, Thoughts going out to Angus, May he be as carefree and heal well just as Indy, did. :wink2:
