Minnie was doing good since she has been home! However, during the night, she got our of her cone three times and got at her stitches - I ended up wrapping a pair of tights over the wound last night which she also got off! Today, she just wouldn't stop thrashing around with the cone so I took it off and she seems to have gotten at the stitches again while I was making dinner. She also got a fright when a door closed and went running and jumped up onto the sofa. Now her incision site looks quite sore and red. I have the cone on her so she can't get at it. There is also a purplish swelling - which looks like a hernia just under the incision site! Of course, this has all occurred out of veterinary hours so I'm going to have to wait until morning (11 hours) to bring her to the vet! Fed up with the constant worrying! Other than this, she has been in good form and eating normally! She was back to herself this morning after being groggy all yesterday from the anaesthetic! I'm going to post a picture of her incision before and after swelling in my album if anyone could give their opinion on it? It's hard to see the swelling in the picture though!
