Super Glue on wound? *Edit* Buddy's stitches are OUT!!

[pitc9]

YIKES!
The wrap I'd need to buy for Buddy is $75!!

But then again, that's cheaper than the $180 vet bill from yesterday!

I thought I we were going to have to go back to the white coats for stitches again!!! Yesterday when I let them out the back door there was a bunny in the yard and they both took off after it!
(This rabbit has been trying to build a nest in my back yard for the past few nights! )
Because of where Bud's stitches are, he is only to be outside on a leash so he doesn't run and tear the stitches out. I called him back in the house and looked at his paw and I'd swear he partially torn his stitches out. The area doesn't look just like it did after the vet put the stitches in, but the wound is still being held together and that's the important part!
He's still being a good pup for Dr. Mom! He lies down on his side so I can get a good look at his paw when I change bandages and he takes his 4 pills a day like a good boy too!

Here's a few pictures...
I wish I would have taken a picture of his foot before the stitches, but anyway... here's after.






He is sick of me messing with him, I lay him down and roll him over 10 times a day to look at his foot!




...few more

And the princess... who tears Buddy's bandages off of his foot!!!




Here's Bud by the window he broke out and cut his foot on, and the same window that he jumped through the next day!!
"Humm.. maybe I should have used this door handle instead of breaking out the glass"

Poor Buddy. I hope the cut heals up quickly.

Poor Buddy. Please give him a kiss on the paw from me. Angie, I'm so sorry about the reading with Nancy. Usually she's able to help us and make it better. I wish I knew how to help Buddy. I guess you've tried Rescue Remedy and all that? Did she tell you about (I think it's something like Greenfield farms?) Maybe they could fix up a mixture of something to calm him.

Angie, do you have a dog bootie? When Star's paw was hurt I put a dog bootie on her, then wrapped & taped the top of it. Kept her from pulling off the bandages. I stuck her foot inside a platic bag & taped that on to go out whenthe ground was wet. I've used just the bootie several times now, and she doesn't seem to mind it at all.

They're quite inexpensive from this place, (just a few bucks), you can order only one if you want, and they're very quick to fill your order. www.dogbooties.com
Poor guy, kiss that pawsie for me.
