My puppy's hurt

Lexi had her cast removed this morning and the doctor wanted it left open. A dog has healing properties in their saliva and there was one little red spot that he wanted her to lick.
She's licked the wound clean and even started working on the stitches. I've had to bandage her leg to stop her and she's not happy about that at all.

The leg has been shaved and is the size of the top part of a chicken wing. She has lovely curly apricot hair that hides her size and makes her look a lot bigger than she is. She's such a cutie.

Hi Tok,

She sounds too cute .... I had a black Toy Poodle in SA ... slightly bigger than yours, but VERY dainty .... they are lovely little dogs. Glad the surgery is over and Lexi is healing well .... I was wondering if they could not spay her at the same time they do the other leg op? Because there is always a bit of risk with the anesthetic and three is a lot for her to have in a short space of time .... on the other hand does your vet feel she is too tiny to have two ops at the same time? I think the spay op is fairly quick ..... I agree with you ..... she is too tiny to breed with and not worth the risk of losing her during the birth ..... especially seeing as she is your pet
