 Get well soon Zoe!!!
His incision will be swollen for a few days. You will be surprised what a few hours will do for him. Tomorrow he will be so much better. Just watch the site for redness, fever and any other signs of infection (like a nasty drainage). My vet closed Oscar's incision with what appeared to be wire sutures...I know it was wire because the ends were very prickly. He took them out at about 10 days. He never acted like it bothered him either. When he starts feeling better he is going to want to run and play...try to keep him calm if you can!!! And in closing, you are not being neurotic! You love your baby and we all TOTALLY understand what you are going thru right now!!! |
