Saturday afternoon--this being the time at which her regular vet was no longer available until Monday at 8--It appeared things were not going so well. I noticed her ear, which the vet had removed two growths from, was in rough shape (ie oozing, gross, bloody, loose flaps of skin). We knew her eat would need to be stitched up but didn't need to pay ER vet prices so we cleaned her up, rubbed on some antibiotic cream, and put the cone on her head until the vet could fix her up. End result after her embarrassing and anxiety filled visit to the vet on Monday: 2 staples in her ear to close one of the flaps, one owie was cauterized, and she earned the right to wear the "cone of shame" for two more weeks. Oh, dear.
