Free at last!
Today was the big day to get Tia’s stitches out! I scooped her up this morning and stuffed her into her new carrier before she knew she was being betrayed, LOL. We discovered the new carrier wasn’t waterproof, unfortunately (she always gets so scared she pees). But a towel in the car seat, and we are off!
The vet is impressed with how well she is walking, and has the stitches out in 10 minutes. She is now free of the cone, but we are supposed to watch to make sure she doesn’t get obsessive about the scab.
Back home to release a VERY happy kitty! I fed her, and she wandered around, somewhat in disbelief that I wasn’t putting her cone back on.
Here is a picture of the incision after the suture removal:
