I agree, just from looking at the photo, it doesn't appear to be a serious problem... HOWEVER, most vets or spay/neuter clinics will gladly recheck things like this and often for no fee. Better to get it checked, it's part of what you pay for with the surgery, in my humble opinion!

Hey, guess what- I'm in Phoenix, too. I don't provide routine care, but if you want to call me I can suggest a couple of options close to your home. You can find my web site and phone number by Googling Tabitha Thompson DVM.

Hi Rachel,
I only do housecalls for acupuncture, herbs and food therapy right now. I don't have a clinic and don't provide routine care. I can give you a referral to someone who does.
Yes, I'm on Facebook under naturalalternativesvet
Sorry, they won't let me post any links here.
