glad to hear its nothing serious. question tho, are those metal sutures or does the picture just make them look extra shiny?

I've seen metal sutures been put in before, its to prevent them from licking. But oouwweee do they hurt when those suckers catch ur hand/arm. I surely wouldn't lick them either LOL

I'm so glad it wasn't serious. It sure looked awful in that picture!

No, not metal sutures. That was the first pic I'd ever taken with my new cell phone so my settings were a bit off. She actually had the regular non-dissolving sutures, but yes they do appear a bit shiny. The vet removed them for us today and I don't think Bella even realized it. He was really fast and gentle with her.
