When Rain was spayed everything looked good for several days and then she developed some redness and swelling around one of her stitches. Took her to the vet who snipped out that stitch and said to put some polysporin on it. It was just a bit of infection of the skin around that one stitch. It cleared up the skin went back to normal, the incision line healed well etc. but then about 2 1/2 months or so after the surgery she started getting what looked like blisters along the incision line. Just one at a time, it would be a watery blister, then start to dry up and turn a bit dry and red, a little scabby and then another one would appear. As it turned out, instead of the inner sutures properly dissolving her body was rejecting them and they were working their way out. When I was checking on one scabby looking spot I bumped off the scab and with it came a big knot of the suture material. After that it all cleared up.
