OK so we went back to our regular vet again because the space in between 3 of the staples was all red and it was bothering her. They took the staples out and gave us steroid cream, a mild sedative.... and a cone...
She looks so sad! But she is very happy to have the staples out!! They were really bugging her in that one spot.
She is happiest in the middle of our bed, so we take turns sitting with her. I went back to work today after a week off so I think it will be my turn for the rest of the night!
