Yeah her vulva was about where izzys incision is :( so it had to be repositioned to where it is in the picture lol!!! If u notice that it starts to bother her I would take her in!!! Porkys abscess was red but no heat no tenderness for about 3 days and then one day she sat down n jumped back up n I knew whatever it was was bothering her n I'm a nurse n had the unfortunate experience of draining an abscess on a human lol so we just located the stitch pulled it it ruptured I held her down squeezed until it bled n cleaned it the next day she was fine :) buttttt it could also be the keloid scar that was mentioned before!!! Just keep an eye on it n try a warm compress if it is an infection that will bring it to the surface :)

It looks a little better today, the red is turning into light pink. I will keep an eye on her and continue to clean and apply neosporin just in case. It looks also a little smaller so hopefully was just a quick reaction to the stitches inside of her.

Wow Porky had a big surgery, I had no idea they could reposion that!

Vulvaplasty? Or, as I called it a cootch reduction? Banks had this done, WAY touch much skin and she was constantly having UTI's and all other kinds of issue with her girly-girl.

Thank you all so much for the advise given on Izzy's incision. I think what happened was only a temporary reaction to the stitches and maybe just part of the healing process. Her cut looks so much better today and is no longer red or pink. The bump next to it is also reducing. :) You all saved me time and money!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! :2thumbs:
