Good vibes for Bailey

It may be that the incision is overly moist, or it might be infection.  I would try to keep it uncovered as much as possible. 

I'd call & let the vet know what it looks like.  They may want to extend the antibiotics for a few more days.

I will try to keep it uncovered as much as I can. It has been unwrapped all afternoon, but I have to cover it durring the night cause I know he will lick it when Im not watching.

I dont think he is in pain at all, I think its just reeeally itchy for him. I used some tissues to soak up some of the ooze coming from it, and he didnt whine or pull away when I touched it, he layed still and let me do it. He actually started to fall asleep, and when I stopped, he put his head up & looked at me like "What'd ya stop for, dat feels guuuuud"

I tried to get a picture of it, but it didnt come out good. You can kind of see it, its the raw looking spot right at the inside part of his pad. Should I put something on it to clean it? antibotic cream or something? peroxide? When I talked to the vet today about the biopsy results it was before I saw this, so I didnt mention it. I will call and ask what they think I should do about it tomarrow morning.

I can see the spot that you're talking about.  I would just keep it wiped as needed.  I am not a fan of putting things on suture lines unles the vet asks you to. 

It almost looks like he's sloughing a little of the pad off.

Just got back from the vet, again.

When I checked it this morning, the raw looking spot was about the size of a dime, with no skin or pad on it at all, it was just open flesh hanging out, and it was bleeding and oozing much more than last night. Called the vet and explained what happend, the receptionist lady tried to tell me I had to wait for a apointment on friday, so I asked to talk to the vet(the one that did his surgery) and when I talked to her she said that he needs to come in right away, and we got an apointment for 9:30 this morning.

She said it looked like he was having a bad reaction to the stitches. It was kind of like, instead of the skin growing and healing around the stitches, the skin was trying to push the stitches out.

So she gave me the options of putting him under again so they could restitch it, and even then he might still have a bad reaction to them again, or they could take them out and let it heal on its own, I would just have to keep it really clean and wrapped.

We decided to remove the stitches, cause it seemed like the best option for him. They put some gel like stuff on his paw to numb it, & removed the stitches. He was laying down on the table with 4 people holding him down. He was actually REALLY good, I was feeding him freeze dried liver the whole time, and they really didnt need to actualy hold him down that much. They only had to restrain his back leg that was being working on cause he kept trying to kick her with it lol.

I have to wash it every day till it stops oozing, and put some antibiotic ointment on it. I have to pack it with sterile gauze pads, so that it is really padded so when he walks he wont put as much pressure on it and his toes wont spread out all the way and stretch the skin. She also gave me more oral antibiotic for him for another week. She said that after it stops oozing in a few days, it would be best to keep it unwrapped as much as possible without him licking it, so I just got the ecollar anyways. I might try and go to a petco(there arnt any close by, or I would have just got one there to begin with) and get the tube-like ecollar instead cause he was terrfied of the cone one.
My poor boy

 Poor Bailey!! Sandy had a reaction to her stitches when I got her spayed. She was allergic to the dissovable kind and developed a lump under her skin from her body rejecting the thread and trying to push it out after the incision had healed.

 Aw Bailey. :( Give him kisses and hugs for me! Feel better soon Bailey! <3

 Poor Bailey. I'm glad you were able to get back in quickly, though.

Sorry Bailey's having problems with his foot but I'm glad you insisted on talking to the vet.  A word of advice on the tube versus cone collars.  I've never owned a dog who wasn't scared of the cone, initially.  They will adjust (takes a day or two normally) and for many dogs it's the only collar that will prevent them from getting to the wound.  I've tried the tube type and on some dogs it worked but it has to be fit perfectly.  I don't like how scared dogs get of the cone but I'd rather put them through that than to delay healing because they won't leave a wound alone.  Give your boy some belly rubs from me.  Good boy, Bailey for being such a good boy at the vet.

I'm gonna say "good for YOU" on paying close attention and realizing something wasn't right and getting him looked at ASAP.

Good boy Baily.  Leeve da owie alone and it getz beddar fast!

Awwww, Bailey, feel better!  You have an awesome mom for catching your owie so fast.  Tell her to give you a lot of rubbies from me.

ETA: Yay for good biopsy results.
