Message: [QUOTE="callingcolleen1, post: 167167, member: 4209"] It was very horrible, I was horrified to see the fur and flesh just hanging off the back legs and under the "leg pit" near the tummy. We rushed her to the vet for an afterhour emergency operation, the injury was extensive and multiple stitches were used to close the wounds. And then the one area under the back leg "pit" (like arm pit) would not heal no how, stitches would not keep that area closed as she would pull the stitches just sitting down or stretching. It was a very hard to heal area and poor Poppy wore a "cone" forever! That area required further suturing to close the wound yet again, and still it would not heal! So the stitches were all removed and the flesh under the leg pit just hung open, it was a huge gapping hole and I just cried and cried. I took the cone off Poppy's head and after nothing more could be done I let Poppy lick the wound as she desired. My family was horrified and my nefew was very worried too. We never thought it would ever close! But slowly, against all odds, and much praying, Poppy licked that huge gapping hole of hanging flesh closed!!! [/QUOTE]
