It looks really ouchyMost likely they used staples because they were fast (and therefore less anesthetic time) but man they must be uncomfortable....
Hang in there, Dru! I think she'll feel SO much better when she has the puppies, so much less tension...
I don't know what that means...
There is a lot of bruising...they told me that yesterday...but I didn't get a good look until today...
I know she has regular sutures inside...well, the kind that disintegrate...
But you're right...once he got looking he realized he'd have to do the inside sutures, then reconstruct some things, and a mastectomy...so they may have done the staples for speed...

If you think she'll obey, I think its fair to use any obedience you have at your disposal here...
I'm impressed to hear that she's so tolerant of itI think that type of thing is difficult for shepherds/herding breeds, IME pain tolerance seems not to be one of their strong suits...
