Well, I am finally back from the vet.

I was gonna do drop off, but they suddenly had a no-show, so we saw the vet.

They wouldn't do stitches because they said it could trap infection in. They said it needs to drain and heal from the inside out.

I have to do warm compresses, twice a day, 10 minutes at a time. Then I have to cover the wound with some holistic sort of medicine, kinda like a doggie version of Liquid Bandaid. Then I have to walk her for another 10 minutes so she'll concentrate on the walk and not licking the meds off her face. Then I have to make sure I give her Cephalexin (antibiotics) twice a day...every 12 hours. I had to do the compress this morning, after the vet before coming to work. The only way she wouldn't wiggle was if I sat there and sang "You are my sunshine" to her.

I guess we got off lucky that it wasn't worse than it is, but it still makes me mad. I really hope those people don't bring their aggressive pit bull to the park again. But the most important thing is that Bailey will be fine. **sigh** My vet said Bailey is turning into a "high maintenance girl"...she ain't kiddin'!
