Head Wound







Grace decided to celebrate the end of summer by cutting her head open. The weather has been a little cooler lately, and Cerise as been very aggressive towards Grace. I think Grace smacked her head against the bard siding getting away from Cerise. The vet spent a few hours sewing her up last night. She cut about a 5 inch flap open just below her forelock -- almost between her eyes. The cut went through all layers of skin down to the skull. The vet sewed interior stitches and then exterior stitches. She (vet) did a good job. The pictures are of the wound after stitching. It doesn't look bad now. You should have seen it before -- the vet had to open the flap and clean the wound clear down to her skull, pretty gruesome. The silver color is a spray bandage.
