princess peanut is okay....

...however, she has had a hard, marble sized mass on her right flank removed today. the shaved area is about 9in by 9in. there are at least 10 sutures on a very neat incision line. dr mugee has an excellent hand for surgery, his work is very tidy. she is rimydal for pain and is trying to fall asleep on the couch right this minute. my wallet hurts too. the vet tech said she might not have a bowel movement or urinate for 12-24 hours, 1.5 minutes and 2 feet outside of the vets door, she squatted and let go...my stubborn sweet girl.
she'll be attached to my bed tonight (thanks for the idea phred) and tomorrow when we leave for work, she'll have 2 t shirts, vet wrap and a cone head on....possibly 5 minutes later, she will have chewed them off.

:eek:
See what happens on Day 1.
Then for Day 2 ...

I'd be more worried about the same-side rear foot ... a serious weapon
for de-wrapping surgical sites on the flank!

Size the Princess for a plasticized table place mat ...
to make a body wrap to cover the site.

Form a TUBE around her body - with plenty of overlap.
Trim to fit - so there's at least an inch or two of front-to-back tube movement
possible before the tube hits her legs.
Wrap it tight enough that she can't just walk out of it. (OR stick her
back foot UNDER it!)
When you get the tube formed and trimmed - pull out your Handy-Dandy
roll of Super Sticky Duct Tape and start taping the joint or seam closed
where the two ends of the tube overlap.

Make a small hole through the end of the tube at the overlap -
use heavy cord or gauze to loop around her neck and through the hole -
to keep the tube from moving backward towards her rear legs.

Between the Tube to protect from the foot, and the Cone to ward off
the toofies - you might return to an intact bandage.

I'd prolly offer a treet or two during the design & fitting process.

Glad Peanut is doing well. Hope she heals up quick, without too many dramatic de-bandaging espisodes!
