    Sigh! First day at work and Anvik managed to rip out several stitches! Hubby was home, but he was in the yard "playing" with a BobCat and forgot about Anvik! Trying the bite-not collar again tonight. Incision is tightly bandaged. I'll drop Anvik off at the clinic on my way to work in the morning!

    OMG!

    Durn Dawg Sitters are So unreliable!

    Ask Doc if plain ole Duct Tape - about 6 layers - would be detrimental to healing.

    It's hard to get good help these days!

    I put a ton of vetwrap on it tonight. So far so good! He's laying beside me looking quite sweet and innocent(Anvik that is, Stuart is still outside playing on the Bobcat!)

    He prolly hasn't noticed you've *locked* all the doors, huh?
    Does he have a spare pillow & blankie out in the Shop?

    LOL, Kayleigh has a big pillow out there. Maybe she'll share with him! Maybe I'll use his credit card to pay the bill tomorrow!

    Oh Annie, how I LOVE to see that smile! I'm sure it made your mommy grin, too. It's great to see you doing well.

    Anvik went to the vet this morning. It's almost noon now and I just called to check on him. They knocked him out and stitched him back up. He did keep the bite-not collar on all night so I think I may have finally figured out how to keep it on his skinny head!

    I laughed at the tech who answered the phone. She said Annie is "just fine, but being a little noisy!" I asked if they wanted me to pick him up early, but since he was put under a general, the vet doesn't want him to leave until 4pm! I bet he wants me there at exactly 4 though!

    Anvik, Anvik. You and my sweet Diamond would make a perfect pair! Remember when Diamond skinned herself going under the fence? She would not leave her stitches alone (she had a lot of them) she ended up busting open half the stitches. So back to the vet she went. We saw the vet a lot during that time. She had to wear a tee-shirt for months. So, I know what your going through.

    You leave those stitches alone Anvik!

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    Are we all back Home and Happie?

    Well, maybe not so Happie ...
    Mom's prolly tired of contributing the the Vet's Kid's college fund ...
    And Anvik is prolly REALLY tired of the itchy Zipper in his side ...

    But other than THOSE lil nit-picks - how are we all DOing??

    Home, but not happy! The vet redid the all the stitches and put a drain in the wound. There was some fluid building up and starting to look like an infection despite a regular dose of Cephalexan. The wound itself looks worse tonight than it did last week!

    Anvik is a little whiny. Doesn't want me to touch his neck. I don't think he likes the bite-not collar very much! But since today cost almost as much as the original repair, he's not getting out of that thing again! He did eat dinner and has been outside for a couple brief crate breaks.

    Well, the collar is temporary, too bad you can't make him understand that, and that if he leaves his stitches alone, he'll get that darn old collar off quicker! Star's had to wear hers for a couple weeks straight, and she seems pretty resigned to it after a day or two. It's still better than a cone - at least they can eat & drink & walk through narrow spaces! Hope Annie settles down soon.
