It's just so frustrating.... Tracy (Beabble) and I talked in length about WHAT WOULD WORK.......... and we just couldn't come to any real options.

They can't possibly keep stitching... they are ripping right through her skin... then it splits... the stitches are in tact, but the face is torn....

I'm not even sure she has anything left to attempt to stitch to!

I actually went out at 3am and bought super glue to try to close up the wound.... but got home and was too afraid to try it.

I would think that would be an option for the vet though.... "surgical" super glue (same thing) and I bet it would hold better.... the only reason I didn't do it, is because I'm unsure of the possible toxic reaction being in the area where the wound is. The fumes alone are enough to burn MY eyes, let alone her little nasal airway. Maybe the surgical stuff is more of an option...

So I'm waiting to see the vet....

She's up to 95 grams today.... let's hope she at least continues to gain... I wouldn't be surprised if she were fighting an infection soon....
