My vet told me it was OK for Bella to lick it, b/c that was her way of cleaning it, but she did have in inside stiches, so there was nothing for her to pull out. He said as long as she wasn't biting at it, it was ok!
I was very worried too! I took off and cried all day. When she got home she was very sleepy, but she woke me up at midnight jumping up and down on her back legs ready to play!!! Little monster!!! After that was FINE. They did send me home with 3 days of Metacam, which is a non-drowsy pain medication.
Good luck and keep us informed!! |
