Suzee update (WARNING: graphic photos)

Suzee had her bandages removed under sedation today.  The vet asked me to document how extensive this damage was on this girl.  He could not believe that she didn't appear sicker and show more pain.  Yes, we have her on antibiotics and pain killers but this is extensive.  After he debrided the infected skin and tissue, he carefully cleaned and rinsed all the area.  The last picture that shows the cleaned up area really does look so much better than when she was first unwrapped. She was then wet packed, rewrapped, bandaged and reversed the anesthetic. I stood there shaking my head in dismay but hopefully, she will recuperate and have a long, happy life.
