She didn't object to a nice cuddle and a massage either seemed to enjoy it.
Did the same with Elsie's head scars and again you'd be hard pressed to see where her scalp was lifted now.
Magic capsules we call them.
Thank you Julie. Unfortunately apart from one stitch, the stitches were actually down inside her lower lid. The outside stitch was in the corner, obviously they had to cut her upper lid too to deal with the problem. However, little madam is doing just fine, sheīs charging about everywhere like a crazy thing, skidding round corners, tossing toys about, and well, just generally feeling full of beans......or something
edited to add:
One of the Vets, a lovely young lady who hasnīt been there too long, didnīt believe that ChoCho was 10 years old, until Maria, the Vet who has been there a long time, assured her she was and showed Iris, the newer Vet, ChoChoīs record from 8 weeks old. I hope ChoCho continues to be as she is, sheīs more like a puppy than an older dog. I must be doing something right !
