Now, I attached the pics. Why the heck is Baby's incision so long? And she had like 10 staples in her. Zoie's is not even an inch long and she has like, two stitches!

My mother doesn't think that's normal. She thinks maybe my vet didn't use laser on Baby, but the scalpel.

What do you guys think? What did your furbaby's stitches look like after a spay?
Bella got spayed mid June and her's looked more like Zoe's. SHe has no scar now and her stiches were all inside so we couldn't see them, but the actual scar was like and inch long...very tiny. In fact, it hardly looked like she had anything done...similar to Zoes. Poor Baby's looks painful, with those stapels...Poor thing, I know Bella would have been trying to rip them to shreds. I think your mom may be right, looks like they used a scaple to me, unless they are just using a different laser technique?? I would definitely call the doctor to verify/discuss.
Hope that helps!
