Traumatic Afternoon Part 2
Mollie’s lip was worse than we initially thought. It’s probably a good job she’s not flyballing this weekend as we would have had to pull her now anyway, there’s no way she could have caught a ball with stitches down her lip. After she had stopped bleeding we got to take a closer look and it had literally sliced inside, so off to the vet Mollie went!
Our lovely vet thought it might not need stitches to begin with, but again, on closer inspection he found the inside was a lot worse than it looked. If he had left it, the scar tissue would have been very uncomfortable and so stitches it is! (8 in total, mostly on the inside of her lip). Mollie is accident-prone and our vet’s practice is only small so all the nurses know her well. She was only in for a few hours today as our appointment was early this morning so she is home again now, but she had a fab time being fussed and cuddled all morning.
As you can see she wasn’t happy she missed Dylan’s boxwork session, but apart from that she’s bright and chirpy. (Please ignore the sadly broken desk chair in the background, it’s heading for the tip later this afternoon!)

Oh my goodness… 8 stitches!!! That’s major! The poor baby. Give her a hug and kiss from me and tell her to get well soon.

Lora – the weird thing is there are only 2 visible stitches, you can’t see the others because they’re inside her mouth! It’s crazy! Our vet has done an awesome job though, I’m impressed with his sewing skills. They’re really neat little stitches, she should look gorgeous again when they dissolve.
Jess – Hopefully see you at training on Wednesday!
