<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, you may (or may not) remember last Friday
Lillie Pearl, my youngest, got cut someway in the yard. We paid some bucks
to have stitches and brought her home. Friday she was very groggy.
Just laid around all afternoon and evening. Saturday she was very
sore. More laying around. Sunday she was wide open. At some
point Sunday she must have popped a stitch somehow. Because now it's
leaking. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I took her to the vet this
morning but the doc had an all-day farm call so me and the vet tech decided to
leave it be and give her an E-collar. Now that's just plain cruel. I
was thinking it would keep her calm, maybe even depressed, and maybe, just
maybe, the leakage would stop and heal on its own.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'll be taking her to the vet in
the morning. The e-collar took her about all of 10 minutes to figure she
could play still and use it to her advantage. So much for the calming
effect.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> We'll see what doc says in the
morning. In the meantime, I believe this calls for a bottle of red to
match the furniture she keeps leaking on.</FONT></DIV>
