I believe my dog has a small seroma and I am wondering if I should or shouldn’t take her to the vet?

Hello,
A seroma typically occurs after a surgery. Was your dog seen by a vet recently? Could it be trauma? The only way to differentiate a seroma from any other kind of swelling is to see your vet for an examination. They can aspirate it and give you an idea as robita cause. And from there help provide a treatment plan.

The photo doesn’t appear to be a seroma. I would ask about suture reaction, infection and dehiscence.
