If there was no vomiting or adverse reaction, we could give her a little more. Did the onesie the first night while she slept, but never needed it after that. She never licked or messed with her incision. The hardest part was keeping her activity level low for 10 days. She wanted to play the first night.
We inspected the incision everyday to make sure it was not inflamed or angry looking. Make sure you speak with your vet about any concerns you have. We asked LOTS of questions and our vet even showed us a slide show on her ipad of the actual procedure. I have to admit it made me a bit queasy but at least I knew exactly what would happen. I was very lucky and Sachi had a quick and easy recovery.
Here are a couple of pics. The incision the day after surgery (dissolvable internal sutures) and now. You can't even see a scar. |
Thank you for including pictures! Great information, I appreciate the thorough answer and all of the great responses
