Britney had her staples removed a week ago tomorrow (11 days after her spay). It looks weird to me. It's a little red and almost dirty.. It reminds me of what flea dirt looks like.

They had some problems (damn tech AGAIN

) removing two of the staples and the vet had to literally yank them out. So I'm not sure if that's effecting them or not.

I called the vet on Friday and was told just to put some Neosporin(sp?) on it.

Any suggestions? Should I call and talk to the actual vet tomorrow?
