RossM 8,092 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Do you not think your better letting the air at it to heal it quicker That's precisely what I said and she said it will fall off in a day or two, she's the expert supposedly? i would have stapled it personally,but that might have left a worse scar,cause of the shape it looks to be....dog will be fine in no time bud....hope it heals well...atb.. Never had a go of the staple gun mate, for that reason and the size of the tear I don't think I'd have liked my first shot at it! Shes fine the now, a wee bit tender but she's fine.

Millet 4,497 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Although it's stitched up it look's a bad untidy job to me..they have not took the fur away from the stiched area.. ..and they is no drain hole at the bottom..change your vet's mate they seem as green as new grass 2 Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Was just about to say the same millet ... Crap stitch job and where the fook is the drain ... I would watch that wound for infection ...... 2 Quote Link to post
LaraCroft 863 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 ..... and fluid build up under the skin. Without a drain hole at the bottom, it can build up. Sorry about the injury (and the bill....) hope it heals quick and clean. Quote Link to post
Guest thebigdog Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 agree with the above. take the dog to a better vet to get it fixed, then get him to charge the first vet the amount they took of the insurance company and the same amount again for him having to fix it. Quote Link to post
