Kia and Chipper need surgery

Chipper got the stitches and ear bandage off last Thursday. The cone has to stay on another week. It's healing up really nice and he hasn't tried to really get at it. I think most scratching at this point is due to the annoyance of the cone (his neck and head itch).

Ear a bit raw right after the stitches came out

I hadn't seen this before Kimmy. Sorry that both dogs had to have surgery. Chipper's new look is very cute - is there any hope that the ear will stand eventually? I am glad Kia is past the tooth pulling part and will be feeling better each day. Both Taggert and Cinder need teeth pulled and will be having it done soon. Just haven't set a date yet due to some other issues that are going on.

Originally there was hope the ear would stand back up. But when they had to do the second surgery, it's looking like it'll be permanently flopped over.

Kia's recovering great. Both dogs have completed all their medications.

Hope Taggert and Cinder do well! :love:

Chipper is Cone Free!! :love: :D :love: :D

The vet said his ear may eventually stand back up. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. If not, it gives him (more) character. :cool:

That's just a great picture! And it's not like he was lacking character before! :) Congratulations on life outside the come, Chipper!
