Thanks to everyone for your well wishes for Pookie. She was uncomfortable for about 3 days, then she started in on trying to pull her stitches and despite the collar (soft collar which didn't work) and her onesies, she managed to pull out some, so the doctor made us use a stiff collar on her which she hated.
We are now at the ten day mark, and the vet said we finally could to take her collar off. Now she's gotten all sassy and we are going to have to retrain her not to nip when we are putting her leash or her sweater on, or trying to brush her, and to do as we tell her. I guess we were easier on her when she wasn't feeling so hot, so she got spoiled. She has already managed to take off the rest of the glue the doctor put on her cut after she pulled her stitches altho it's only been a few hours since we took the collar off. The cut is still very pink and doesn't look like it's totally grown together. We are putting onesies on her tonight in the hopes she'll leave the cut alone. She is a stubborn one tho. Last time she had onesies on, she wriggled out of them down to her back legs overnight and that's when she pulled her stitches out, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
If she wasn't the cutest thing ever, I think I'd be mad at her. But how can you be mad when she's such cute little darling? Well, I just wanted to update you. |
