Early this week Katinka went to the vet with one of her cats and he asked about my progress. She told him that none of the staples have been coming out, but that I had a sore spot. He recommended to put some newderm cream on it, so it would heal faster and was very surprised to hear about the staples.
In the meantime 2 staples are coming out and that’s hurting a bit and I’m holding my leg higher again. The new cream smells really nice and I want to lick it, but I can’t due to the bandage.
Speaking of bandage, yesterday evening I had a bit of a dilemma. The wound can’t get wet and even though it has a bandage on it, it was raining outside and I had to go outside. So Jessica’s mom came with a clever solution. Take a piece of think plastic (like a freezing bag with a piece cut off) and place it around the bandage (so my feet was at the bottom of the bag). After that put on a baby sock and to keep it in place put some tape around it. As a result the sock and the outside of the bag was wet, but my paw and bandage were dry. The only thing is that during the walk, when I put my paw down, you could hear the bag. But this gave Jessica an idea of how much I’m already trying to use my paw.
But tomorrow is the big day, because I’m going to the vet for a check up and the staples have a great possibility to be removed.
