4th day

In the morning, I checked stitches. They are all gone except the bottom one.
There is no blood, but i can see cut is open slightly.

We called the vet and asked advice. Doctor's not available but receptionist (possibly vet tech) told us that as long as the inner incision is intact, it's fine.

I Googled all over, and found that we better use bandage around her to prevent her to make more damage.
At first, we used several band aids and a wide bandage but Poochie went crazy and try to remove it so badly.

So, we had to remove it all and ran to drag store. We got disinfect alcohol and ointment, self sticking bandage and gauze pad.

It went well. Poochie is still trying to remove it, so we moved her to a smaller cage, which we have used for vacation. By placing her in unfamiliar location, she become distracted and not paying attention to the bandage anymore.


She is eating better.





























The first attempt of bandage. Before shooting this picture, she was struggling and running around too much and tired now.
