Runester

So, after taking her in Monday evening to have some of the stitches / staples removed - I had to take her right back Tuesday morning because the surgical seem opened in two small (0.5 cm) gaps. There was no blood or puss or anything, but I was concerned. She had to stay overnight, twice. But, this morning I was able to bring her home!

They didn’t just add a couple of stitches, which is what I thought. They actually opened the whole seem, trimmed the dead skin from the edges, and then rejoined it with a whole row of surgical staples. It looks much neater and the row of staples takes almost all of the stress of moving and pulling off of the seem. I also recieved another bottle of antibiotic droplets for her and have to keep cleaning the seem with hydrogen pyroxide and applying the ‘AniMax’ antibacterial ointment. Hopefully she’ll heal up real nicely and we’ll be able to get those staples out and return things back to normal.
