I caught Ruby licking her wound twice now today. I only take the cone off briefly for her to eat and sometimes give her a break from it. She took advantage of my kindness and now she has to leave it on. A few more days is not too long, after having come so far now. Will she finally be able to grow her hair back without it needing to be shaved for surgeries?! That will be nice to see her with all of her coat grown out again. She didn’t rip any of the stitches, thankfully. She was a little tender to touch when I pressed the line and felt the fur wet. It was time for her night meds and I just dosed her. She is resting nicely on the floor in front of me.
RUBY!!! YOU KEAVE THOSE STITCHES ALONE SWEET GIRL!!!
I’m sure they have to be irritating her after all she’s been through with them! I’m sure the incision itself is still probably a little tender. That’s probably why she’s licking it.
YES! The fur will grow back! It’s funny because some dogs seem to have their fur grow back faster than others. I remember wishing Happy Hannah’s fur woukd hurry up and grow back. All of the sudden it just seemed like it had filled in! Obviously it happened slowly, but once it started growing back it seemed like…. BAM …her fur was back! 🙂
And once it grows back, you won’t even notice Ruby is a tripawd!!
You’re doing such a good job!!
Is your regular Vet going to take the stitches out Monday?? Incision still looking good?
I think we’re all almost as excited as you and Ruby are to get thise stitches out!
HURRY UP MONDAY!!!!
Hugs!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Okay Ruby we’re almost at the finish line girlie! Keep away from those stitches and Sally will recommend that you gets lots of ice cream!!!
Keep up the good work Mum and keep calm…😁
