Butt Surgery (Tail Surgery)

During the same trip as the knee surgery, we talked to the vet about her tail. She has a cute bob tail, but for a while it had been irritating her, because under the fold of skin a her tail was poking her. In the x-ray they found that she actually had a little piece of bone that wasn't really attached to anything, just floating around causing trouble. So we had them take care of that during the same surgery, while she was still sedated. So she came home with staples in her legs and stitches in her butt. Luckily she didn't need a cone, because she can't reach either of those places to chew on them. They also shaved her, of course, which had to have been a little embarrassing.

I have to admit that this isn't really the cutest side of our dog, especially with the bruising.
