I got back from the Animal Emergency and Referral Center, where Hana had her surgery, a little while ago. Matt and I noticed something extremely tiny and extremely sharp sticking out of Hana's knee where her incision used to be. We feared it might be a suture or staple that wasn't removed, or even the pin they used in her surgery sticking out or something. It is super sharp. After looking her over, we learned that it was just a suture that didn't dissolve like they thought it would. She is supposed to wear a soft blue e-collar for a few days to prevent her from licking at it, since licking can cause infection or open up the incision area again. I think she said that after a few days if it looks good and she isn't bothered by it, I can remove the collar and it should then dissolve on it's own still.
Two more weeks until she can have freedom to play, run and jump so if it's still there in 2 weeks I'm going to have them look at her again. Jeesh, this never ends!
