We used a onesie for her also. The vet said it would be fine. She fit in the newborn (she wiggled out of the neck of the bigger size) but they weren't long enough so an extension had to be sewn on. Please just make sure they aren't too loose in the back legs or they will find a way to lick the incision.
Thank you....this is good to know about the staples...I will have to call my vet and ask him about this????? I am liking the sound of a onesie...how big is is Ellie and what size onesie did you get?????
