yeah that was careless of your vet's office. any patient that has a procedure that involves cutting into the body should go home with antibiotics.

Does she have stitches or staples? If so, then you have to wait until 48 hours or so after they are removed (they leave tiny microscopic holes when removed so they need to close up) If they used surgical glue, you can bathe her now, just don't scrub that area or let it soak in the water. You may want to wait a day or so anyway, just because she's probably very sore and tender and I'm sure getting washed would just make her feel worse. Baby wipes to the rescue

Thanks for the sypathy on the part of my nose...it was really bad for awhile...she has stitches so I guess I'll wait until they come out...she does smell alittle better today...i sprayed some leave in conditioner on her head so now she does smell better...at least that end of her.....the worse part is ..is that she likes to sleep or just sit right under my neck

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and advice....I kinda figured that I had to wait until the stitches were removed but I was hoping not.
