Here is a link to the soft collar I mentioned, so you can see it, even if you can't get one in time. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ne-collar.html
You can get a newborn baby onsie and put it on with smooth side (back) toward her tummy and snaps up at her back. You will have to unsnap it for her to go potty though.
There is also a chance you won't need any of these, some dogs just don't lick and chew stitches.
My vet offered spay at a very affordable price, as an incentive to stop overpopulating. Also the local Humane Society here offers a $50. certificate toward cost of spay at any vet.
You might also want to get Mork microchipped while she is in there, and if she has any retained baby teeth this is a good time to have those removed.
Good luck. You might want to start a new thread in the General section, as more people will read there than in the Nursery (where we mostly see new litters of babies)
Love the photos of Mork and friends. |
Thanks MauiGirl! I'm going to find out if the Humane Society here does that. Mork's Vet charges $420 after all the blood work and everything. But it has to be done and, after our experience with Oreo, I'd rather have someone I trust who knows her and has her records do the surgery. As far as licking the stitches, I've found out that she will do internal stitches so I guess I don't have to worry about licking.
Mork has already been microchipped but I'm not sure how to use that. Also, she is only 4&1/2 months old and her teeth seem to have just started to fall out. But maybe that is something that should be asked to her Vet.
Thank you so much for responding to me!
