A good Vet report , Sue removed the drains today as there are holes for any seepage . Nelly temperature is still a little high but Sue is not unduly worried as Nelly has good pink gums and wet membranes , she did say that sometimes, after traumatic injuries, the body is working so hard to heal that this can raise the body temp . Back on Friday afternoon and hopefully all stitches out in about 8/9 days . Our little girl was a star , she had lots of fuss from the nurses too , quite the little celebrity , I think I might just sleep more easy tonight xx
