Pooch in pantyhose

(A canine fashion statement)
I thought it time for a Molly update.
Here she is making quite the fashion statement in a pair of crotchless pantyhose (cut to make room for her rudder).
Poor little girl, but it has been the only thing keeping her from pulling out more stitches.


She looks a bit uncomfortable but in reality, they didn't seem to bother her too much.


We went back to the vet (yet again - I'm losing count) and he has given her more antibiotics on top of the mild sedatives and anti-inflammatories she was given the other day.
Where she pulled some stitches is now a nasty fleshy wound. Keeping her from licking it is a real job.
The vet was amazed how well she was walking, so I hope that's a good thing. We are struggling to keep her quiet. She doesn't seem to understand the word 'convalesce'!
We are all so so tired. Tired of saying, "stop licking!".
It seems neverending and is very draining, but I realise she is only doing what comes naturally to her.


Sleepy pooch. Sometimes it all gets a bit much :)
Back to the vet on Friday to get the stitches removed.

ps thanks for your offers to source me a zipper re my last post. I have been so slack (so tired and busy with Molly) that I haven't responded to your comments. The zip is under control :)

  2. I know I keep saying this but poor Molly. She is so cute, the pantyhose is very clever but it does look a bit like doggy drag queen. Get better soon Molly so your mother can have a rest. xxxx

  11. I've never heard of panty hose, but it now seems so obvious.

    I feel I know Molly so well, because of her expressions. I've seen them all before on Noodle.

    She's such a doll and this Op. will one day just be a memory as she jumps and runs around the back yard.
