Answer:
Have you had the stitches removed?

Answer:
Are the bumps bright red ? Yellow-whitish ? Hard or squishy ? You say "where the stitches were" so I ssume they were either removed or have dissolved. Do you see or can you feel any stitch-bits sticking out ? Scar tissue will stay red until it heals to a bright white and eventually fades away almost completely but you can generally tell the "normal" red of healing from the "angry" red of infected. Not every Vet is a natural cut 'n sewer ~ I know I personally had a scar line that made other surgeons gasp.

Answer:
My Tobey had this when I got her spayed. I can't remember what the vet said it was, but she told me not to worry. It went away on it's own after a few weeks. That being said, if you are concerned it wouldn't hurt to call your vet.

Answer:
When we got ours spayed, they told us that the dissolvable stitches will cause the lumps. I think a little redness is normal, but if there is swelling or draining, definetly have her looked at. My philosophy is better be safe than sorry. Good luck!
