It didn't hold either. I'm furious with my friend for this unnecessary thing that has caused this baby so much trouble. She called yesterday and said it's now wide open again and draining a lot. You can imagine my frustration because there was NO reason for her to do this to this poor dog. I can't tell you how many times I told her that tails are cute. She's not showing this dog, there's no reason to put her through it. Anyway, she's taking her back to vet tomorrow. Does anyone have any advice or experience with something like this. Should she put neosporin or bacitracin on it or leave it alone, she's heard both. People are so thoughtless sometimes!! |
that's just ridiculous. why would she do that? *sigh* tell her to keep it clean. don't put anything on it becuase they will have to re suture it probably. Also tell her not to feed the dog in the morning in case they need to sedate her again to redo the tail
