It’s possible Maisy is having a suture reaction but it’s also possible this could be coincidental and she has an infected hair follicle or something else causing the lesion. First you want to keep Maisy from licking the area as this can make it worse. Have her wear an Elizabethan collar at all times. I would also recommend to have her see her veterinarian with in the next day to check for a suture reaction. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
