So, my girl got spayed yesterday. Came home last night groggy, but mostly fine. Today, I noticed some swelling and a little blood coming through. She had sutures inside with the skin glued shut.
I brought her to the vet just to be on the safe side (I've never had a girl before). The receptionist took her into the back to see the vet, where they put a row of staples in to reinforce the incision.
I could hear her crying from the waiting room, and I can't get it out of my mind. She came back tail wagging and normal, but they didn't freeze the site or anything. I can only imagine how much it hurt.
Is this common practice? I used to work at this clinic, but I never witnessed anything like this before.
I've had a few minor concerns about this particular vet before, and I'm just wondering what everyone else's take on it is.
