Thanks for the encouraging words. I feel so helpless. She has now taken up licking her stitches. I'm not sure how to get her to stop, except to put on a sweater. I haven't even been able to look at her stitches because I don't want to hurt her by moving her in a way that will be uncomfortable. Ugh! I just want her to feel better!
