Dog wound never healing

my little Yorkshire terrier, Maggie was bit by another dog about 3 years ago. She almost died. We finally had it stitched. After 3 months it reopened and the vet glued it shut. Now it has open again. Why isn't it healing?  We're the stitches not properly done?

Time for a different vet, and a check up NOW .  Poor little dog .

If there were internal stitches the first time, this could have caused an issue. sometimes they don't dissolve or so extremely slowly. Often they part break down and come out through the skin. This slows down healing incredibly. A couple of years...hmmm, I guess possible but unlikely unless your dog was upsetting the surgical site during this time.
