So I didn’t put up pictures of Copper in the previous post cause I didn’t want anyone to worry. But now that she’s out of her collar and pretty much finished healing, I figured I can show a before and after picture.
Copper got half of her left ear burned off. Since cartilage doesn’t heal, it simply fell off. She had the deepest burns on her back just above her shoulder and on her front right leg.
And except for the first surgery which was mostly to remove the burnt hair and clean up the wounds a bit, everything healed basically on its own. Of course she’s young, and the vet said her growth was probably stunted quite a bit, but she seems to have come through this just fine.
I would like to thank Companion Animal Clinic, who made this whole process really painless and pretty cheap. Especially Dr. McCormick who took care of her, kept us in the loop, and even came in on his day off when her stitches came loose.
