Back Surgery Pictures

These are obviously not the first post-op pictures I've put on this blog, but this scar makes me wish for the surgeons at Childrens....apparently they're a lot less dainty with pet surgeries.

As you can see, Willow's entire back has been shaved, and the incision has been closed with staples. The closure site looks good so far, and the staples will be removed at her checkup next week.

Here's a close-up of the scar itself.

In honor of a successful Rose Bowl victory, Willow wanted to be a Trojan football. Her staples look just like laces.

We've had to keep her mostly confined to a crate that we move with us between rooms (bedroom<-->living room). She doesn't particularly like being locked up, but she's gotten used to it after being caged at the vet for a week. She's not above pathetic looks, however....here she's giving us a sad-eyed pout.
