Ewwww, poor Daisy's tummy isn't holding shut yet and she needs the staples a little while longer? That's too bad, but overall it sounds like she's doing well ... considering what she went through! :D I'm sure she'll be fine for the next visit.
P.S.: That vet sounds pretty funny!
Wow, Daisy! I'm sure sorry your tummy didn't stay closed up! :( That happens to humans too! It was very good that it happened with the doctor right there - and he could zip you shut again!
For all you humans out there, don't ever let a doctor take out staples or stitches too early when it comes to abdomenal surgery! Even though I didn't eat a leash ;) I had the same thing happen to me and it took 10 more weeks of healing and a serious chance of infection before I was ok again.
For pets or humans, ask your doctor to leave staples in place as long as safely possible - you do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT want a surgery site opening up again - The best way to protect yourself is to talk about it before the surgery and make your wishes very clear to the doctor!
Daisy, keep on healing - and have lots of extra (careful) hugs from someone who knows about tummy troubles!
