Just thought I’d let you all know the vet thinks they both should recover well, and gave us some meds to help with pain, and antibiotics for infection. Both my gals are eating and drinking and defecating like usual. They hate having their wounds flushed, and don’t enjoy being forced their...

I’m not sure how to wrap it. I probably need gauze, which I don’t have and can’t get until later. We’ll see what the vet says. Thank you. :)

Thank you for this very informative advice! I will post again after the vet visit! :)
