Hi there! My dog had surgery done on her right patella 12 days ago. Sutures are coming out Monday. I noticed today it looked scabby. Is this normal?

That bit of scabbing is normal and no cause for concern. There is no redness, major swelling, bleeding or discharge. She will still need to be restricted in activity for another 4-6 weeks after suture removal.
