keetamouse Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Does anyone know what this lump could be, she is a foxie girl approx 8 months old, just been desexed, I thought it may be a hernia but it is in the wrong place for it to be that. I am taking her to the vet tomorrow but just curious if someone may know. Maree CPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Arcane Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 how long ago was she desexed? Sometimes a dog has a reaction to the internal stitches which can cause swelling like this. I've seen a few girls with similar swellings from that. The vet will sort you out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Can you push it back in like a hernia? Still looks like one just not in the traditional spot. Maybe it's just a plain old cyst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If it's soft, see a vet... if it's hard, it could be internal scar tissue from the desexing and will probably flatten out over time. Have seen similar in pups who wouldn't stay quiet (ie. not play like loons) after desexing... I don't see any redness or anything that may indicate infection or the like... T.

Thanks guys, I went back to the new owners and had a look myself and was told that it had gone down overnight (am a bit annoyed that they didn't ring me and tell me that as I had to go back over the other side of Canberra at least 45 mins) it is what you have said tdierikx (the pics didn't look like it was near the suture part, but yes it is, so will send them some antibiotics (will post these as opposed to go backing again myself) I have had a few of these lumps on other dogs so knew what it was as soon ans I saw it.

greytpets Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Correct post surgery care is important so we only have our dogs with specialised carers until the stitches come out. It works well for us & probably saves us a lot of trouble in the long run. It does sometimes make the whole process slow because we can only take dogs if there is a one available.

She was desexed mid March (approx a month) and my vet doesn't do stitches so there wasn't an issue with them, she was only sent to my carer 10 days ago and there was no sign of it, so obviously it just happened overnight and then reduced the next night. All is well Maree CPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
