Hi, we just adopted a dog about 3 weeks ago. Before we got her she was spayed. The incision was healing nicely. However I just recently notice this little bump under her skin. Has anyone seen this before? I'm a new dog owner so I'm trying to figure out what's normal for dogs and what is not. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Below is a picture of her incision.

It's the suture that is meant to go under the skin. It will disolve on its own. It usually takes anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks to disolve.

Just keep an eye on it. If it doesn't disappear or seem like its getting smaller, take her into the vet to be looked at
