Daisy cut her paw


In 1½ days I have become supersick so now I have a hysterical cold and feel like shit, perfect timing too now when all of the big exams are coming up!

Daisy had fully recovered from the operation and then she cuts up her paw, so we had to sow. She needed 3 stitches, they are kind of far apart so that the wound will heal by it self or something.. It was so recently that she was put to sleep for the operation so I didn't want to put her under again so they had to sow it while she was awake. She got some anesthesial fluid on the wound, but when we got to the last stitch it was all gone so she screamed a bit then but she is such an amazing dog so she never tried to bite or do anything. 

The big fish-hook needle that was used to sew her back together! 
Couldn't get a good pic, was to busy holding her and making sure she didn't move when the vet was fixing her.
Because she had cut herself the day before (I assume  the vets first shaved of the fur around the wound, then they poured the anesthesia on it, waited for a few minutes. Then they started "shaving off" a layer of the opened wound so all bacteria would be gone, that was a little weird to watch, it started bleeding a bit but it was dabbed of with some cotton. The vet pushed the needle through from one side to the other and then made many knots for it to hold. She did the same thing for the other 2 stitches but during the last one Daisy started struggling and screaming so that one had to go fast!
