When our potential adopter was here yesterday, I noticed that Gidget's spay incision was a bit red and angry looking at one end so after she left I put some antibiotic cream on it. It felt a little scabby, I thought. Same thing this morning and I just thought it was scabby but when I went to put cream on it this afternoon, I realized that there was still a stitch there. They were not able to use dissolvable sutures because she was still swollen from having had the puppies so they needed to be removed and they evidently missed one. Now, hopefully, her incision will finish healing. I'll keep cream on it for a few days to make sure it heals up well. Want to have her all well by next Saturday when she goes to her trial home.
When I put the leash on her, she thought we were going for a walk. Really do need to get her out but I don't handle the cold we've been having well. It's supposed to rain a great deal tomorrow and the next day. Perhaps after that. She really doesn't like the vet, though and trembled like crazy. But she didn't act out. I'm always impressed at how she is able to behave so well even when she is obviously uncomfortable. She was able to take treat ok which is a good sign.
