And just layed around in her cage.. she tried to lick it but when she would the cone on her head would scratch her tummy. poor babe. about a day after all she wanted to do was play and be excited.. We had to leave her in the morning till the next day i was so sad!! Well another dog i know had got a hard lump where her stiches were.. i forget what its called... That is only because she got too excited.. its like a cluster of water or something beneath the skin and it makes a hard lump...??? I forgot it seems like forever ago.. lol
