Holy moly...no pain meds? I'd ask for some, there is bound to be some discomfort for her and a greater urge to "lick the wound" if there is nothing blocking the feeling of it. Our dog Balance, a BIG black lab, got some cysts removed on his paws. At first they didn't think he would need pain pills (he had staples too), but it was hell on wheels trying to get him to not lick and mess with the feet. Once they gave us pain pills he hadn't a care in the world...he left the feet alone. Good luck!!
