So I am trimming Bella's clumpy hair behind the ear and

and look closely to see how I did getting the last clump off. I look and see an incision like cut about and inch behind and below the ear. Aw chit. After a short discussion I bring my buddy over to NEAMC in West Bridgewater where vet, and I agree she needs a couple of stitches. Its not bleeding, the dog didn't whimper, or let me know in any way I just cut her her, but I did. If I didn't check on my sloppy work we may never have even seen the cut. By the time they actually took her out back it had opened up a little more, but still wasn't bleeding. Broke my heart that I hurt her.

So she will need anesthesia, and has to be shaved to make sure the would is clean and what not. I leave her, because they are very busy. I got the call to pick her up at 1:30 a.m., and I ran right over. So $471.20 later including three scripts, and a soft collar she has to wear for a week or so until the cut is healed, Bella is downstairs not exactly sure what happened, but glad to be home. No pic. couldn't do that to her. And I didn't want to show anyone how friekin stupid I was not to wait for Bev to help with a second pair of eyes.
