You know, now that I think about it the one staple that Sammy wouldn't leave alone was like twisted and digging into her skin. Once the staples came off she was fine and she mostly left the stitches alone. Maybe now that he replaced them he will be better. Did they say how long the staples needed to be in? Sam's were supposed to be on 2 weeks covered by bandages, but the bandages started slipping off after about 8-9 days and I took her to my regular vet and they removed her bandages AND her staples because they said she was healed enough for them to come off. The VERY worst days were after the bandages came off because she had to figure out how to walk again. She did great walking with the bandages on. It took her like 2-3 days and then she was OK again. |
