Glad she came through it all ok!! Roxie didn't bother her stitches. We kept her in the crate when not able to keep an eye. She also wanted to jump off the bed and stuff which freaked me out the first time she did. She just did it so fast I couldn't get there fast enough to stop her. Amazingly it didn't do anything. The pain meds do help keep them quiet for the first few days even if they don't seem to be in pain. I think that's partially why the vets have us use them. At least for the ones that are over active. We didn't use it for very long. Luckily they heal fast!!
