Ugh I should have known.....

Yesterday at lunch i noticed a stitch was missing from Athenas wound...I didn't think anything of it she had a zoomie episode day before and thought it was from that. The skin was already mending so i just left it be....

I came home yesterday to her leg without stitches and hanging open...ugh Seriously???!!!! I called the vet at 4:57pm and they told me to come on in and they'd fix it up.

So she got staples this time. I love my dog, I love my dog, I love my dog...right? It's my fault really i should have gotten a cone but she went 4 days with no problems. I even left her over the weekend to do errands and she didn't touch her booobooo.

So now her leg looks like this:


And she is giving me a look like this when the cone is on...

I told my boss I brought her in so I could watch her and he was totally ok with that. I told him I didn't have her cone on because  she isn't licking at the site. He said I should keep it on her because I can't watch her 24/7. Which I understand and when I can't watch her I'll put the cone on, but she can't go in her crate with this huge plastic cone and she just stands there and whines. So I took it off and she is peacefully sleeping in her crate. Maybe at lunch when I go to get more calming pills I'll look for a soft cone so she feels less like the red headed step child!

I would like to say that I LOVE my vet and staff :)
