Cone Of Shame
Poor Jodie, with the Cone Of Shame.
She's back home with us: the vet said we should keep an eye on it, as she's made it worse overnight by licking it (probably to get the remains of the stitches out), and she has to be kept very quiet, so no walks at all. Cone of shame at night, when we're not around to keep an eye on her. I'm not sure how well she'll fit in her crate with it on, should be interesting.
Pathology's back: it's a low-level level two Mast Cell tumour, which the vet made to sound very reassuring until he started saying "Whatever you do, don't Google for it, she's going to be fine." Inevitably, given that she's popped her stitches, the type of tumour means that it will be slow to heal. On the plus side, it's such a big wound because they took a lot of skin out with it, and the biggest risk with them is apparently that you don't have the space to do that and so leave a bit behind.
