Do it! The veterinary profession is sooo poorly paid in money, but sooo highly paid in job satisfaction.... doesn't stop us all, vets, nurses and receptionists alike from moaning about being skint though lol!

they heal a lot faster than we give them credit for... My little lad always comes off worse when something happens with my two, only the other day my girl caught him on his head leaving a big gash. Didn't go deep enough to bleed but it looked really bad and within hours it was scabbed over.
Only took him two weeks to recover from having his jaw amputated; so a little bite is nothing she'll probably have forgotten about it already

I'm sure it will be fine - twice daily bathing with cooled, boiled salt water (1 tea spoon to a pint) for the next day or so, and then just keep an eye on it. You said Zara isn't bothered by it - that is a VERY good sign

I think she has.... still does not help me feeling guilty like hell....

Got some mackerel in tomato sauce, will share it with Zara - but got to lock the 6 cats somewhere first LOL

small tin to share for 8 (6 cats dog and me) - no way LOL

ours was attacked, but because the wounds were quite deep, was on 2 lots of antibiotics just to be sure.

was shaved as well so it made it easier to keep an eye on things. nearly all healed now thank god

good luck:j
