March 8 - Day 13 The Bandages Come Off

The bandages are smelly. Bunny is a little smelly too. She walks with stiff legs and has started to kick her leg back when she walks. Her mummified legs are starting to unravel.

When I pick her up, I notice her skin on her inner leg and belly are irritated from the adhesive. She has really pink skin, so I imagine its sensitive too. It does not look pleasant. It's red and scaly.

We go to the vet hospital and they are busy. We wait almost an hour. Finally a nurse comes out and gets Bunny. They will be back soon she says.

They come back and Bunny looks sad. The nurse said, "The doctor is really busy, but he says Bunny is healing great, her knees are strong and the incisions look great. Come back next week for suture removal. We gave her an injection for the inflammation on her skin."

I ask what I can do to relieve her skin irritation. She said to "sponge bath" the area and apply Neosporin. "Have a great weekend," she says as we leave. You too. They didn't charge us for this visit either, not even for the shot they gave her.

On the way back to work, Bunny gets in a better mood. We have a productive work afternoon and we go home.

Where are my pants?

I give Bunny a sponge bath and she likes the Neosporin. I boil her a knuckle bone for being a champ.

Since, her stitches are exposed and she already has been told "No" a dozen times, she must wear a cone to bed. She hates it. It's a Comfy Cone, a bit more "comfy" than the standard. 

Glow in the dark. 

Sad face.
