Also, if you're worried about her licking the incision, you could get a onesie to put on her. I did that with Maddie and it was comfortable, but made it impossible for her to get to the stitches. I just cut a small hole for the tail and it worked great. I feel bad that she didn't get any pain meds...the poor little thing has been through major surgery, and I think they should give them pain meds to get them through the first few days after surgery. Maddie had pain meds for 5 days. If she seems to be really uncomfortable, ask you vet for something. There's no need she should suffer when pain meds are available. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and Maddie sends puppy kisses! |
wow! It's amazing how different vets will tell you different things. I was told not to put neosporin on the incision b/c it would keep it from healing. Who knows what is right. I may have to do with the kind of stitches, though. Syd has the dislovable kind. I would call your own vet to be sure before putting anything on it.
The onsie is a good idea...but mine would have bit at the stitches through it. They were itching really bandly.
I hope that she is feeling all better soon.
