When Winston had his surgery, they told me not to let him run and jump. I stifled my laughter. My little boy is so energetic! I took him home, sans cone of shame, and let him do what he felt he could do. He didn't jump on the couch...so I helped him up. Carried him up the steps on potty breaks if he was feeling sore. Before I knew it, he was doing everything he always did prior to the neutering. I never had to use the cone, as he only bothered his stitches a couple of times and stopped when I scolded him.

Perhaps I am in the minority, but i have always had the attitude to let nature guide them, but keep a watchful eye. Never had an issue with any dog or cat I ever had

Anyway, get well soon Bertie! And be a good boy!

Mariah is the best with stitches never bothers them until a day or two before they are supose to be removed she pulls them all out cone or not to save the vet the bother.

Poor Bertie! But he'll be back to normal soon. Healing drool from Doppler and Virga.

Never had a bit of trouble with Boomer with his stitches. Except for the fact that they were PINK, for crying out loud!

Boomah-- PINK STITCHES??

Hank has been licking his A LOT the past couple of days. took an extra good look at them earlier and saw inflammation and a lot of redness around his stitches. Since I've had the trouble of infections before, I knew what kind of pain he must be going through. Just got back from the vet with anti-infective pills.

My poor bubby. :/

 

[MollyMcFrecklesMom]

Poor baby Hank! Leave those stitches alone. If ornery little Winston can do it, I know a sweet boy like you can too

 

[Boomer's Mom]

Yes, Worm, I had pink stitches. Poor momma was mortified. Jus' cuz they took away my equipment, doesn't mean they had to give me pink stitches.

Awww, poor little Hank.

 

[MollyMcFrecklesMom]

LOL they led Winston away on a pink leash. Is this secret vet humor?
