So as I was leaving for work, I checked her wound and it appears to have opened up slightly. There was a little teeny bit of blood. I have a decent sized gated area where the 2 stay during the day, so I put Ceiba's crate in there and crated her in. Her brother was with her, just not in the crate.
Hubby is going home for lunch to check up on her. I think she's ok, but aside from redness or swelling, are there any other big red flags I should watch out for?
(I really am trying to keep her calm but she is hard headed!)

well i know with wounds on skin kids my mom says watch for red lines around boo boo or circles of redness.....both signs of infection. Thats all I know hope it helps!

FEEL BETTER VINNIE!!!

I don't know, mine kept Vinnie the night before as well, which is when i know they did the pre-anesthesia bloodwork. It was a must with my vet, but i'm glad they kept him the night after, i couldn't handle seeing him in pain!

I will be sure to give Vinnie extra kisses from yourself and Roxee as long as you give Roxee kisses from my little Casanova, hehehe. I look forward to your update!!

I am really sorry, and trust me, Vinnie was all about playtime when he got home last night, even with constant attention it's so hard! I worry so much while i'm here at work and my husband is at work what i'll go home to find. I just hope he doesn't mess with the stitches, i'm afraid he will and that i'll come home to a bloody mess, i just pray he leaves them alone. My sister just had a baby, and someone had gotten her premie onesies just in case, well little James never fit them, so she gave them to me for Vinnie, BUT he uses the pee pad during the day so i didn't put one on him, which was a struggle for me this morning to decide what to do, now i'm just so worried i made the wrong decision! I hope everything goes better with Ceiba, sending more prayers your way!!
