Amelie
Well we woke up on Saturday and thought we'd give Amelie a treat by taking her cone off for a while, while we looked after her (she was neutered on Monday and has to wear a cone to stop her licking her wound).
Turns out, we're not so good at looking after her :( She bolted under the bed and by the time we got her out, she had ripped/licked out ALL her stiches!
So we took her to the vet on Sat morning and luckily she said that she didn't need stitched again (which would have meant putting her under anaesthetic again and would have cost us about another £100) but she simply used some sugerglu on the wound and gave us some anit-biotics to give her.
So in the end it only cost us £14, which rocks. Luckily we have enough of her painkiller left to give so we know she's not in any pain, and her wound is looking very good.
The one (very loose) stitch she has left is due out on Thursday, so hopefully all will be clear then.
She has however got very clingy since the op, and she has slept with us in the bed every night since she tore her stitches out, usually in the crook of my arm, which is very cute.
I just hope she's okay, come Thursday.
