I cant believe it - by morning Rush has ripped through one of her stitches, ripped the skin that was being held.  Too old to restitch, so I just covered it and hoped for the best.  Today  I took another look and we had ripped stitch number 2.   This time I took bandages and added some ointment and put them on to hold the skin more or less together.    In the after noon I looked at the rest of the stitches. They were looking tight - it was day 10 ready for them to cfome out and so I removed them.  The rest of them looked nice and tight… made sure Rush had her tee shirt on and went with it.  An hour later she has the remaining seal opened  back up - great.  So, vet wrap, bandages, ointment- and a tee shirt.  We will see.
