Lynn Mc., Janet, and FML: Rogue had her stitches taken out Monday 4/28. She is doing great! Although, I did have a frantic call from her owner on Sunday at 11pm - earlier in the day, Rogue had a bloody pee/poop (hard to tell with a female), and later in the day, a normal pee/poop. Our local after hours emergency clinic refused to get in touch with the vet who did the specialized surgery, but would "watch" her overnight...The owner and I concluded that the second potty was a good sign and to call the vet first thing in the morning (7:30am) and see if they should up their scheduled appointment time from 11:30am to immediate. The vet examined Rogue at 11:30am, and seriously doubted the blood was from the vena cava surgery, but more likely from the decreased vulva swelling (discharge). FYI.
