"em" Thanks so much for your reply it feels sooooo reassuring talking to other people who have gone through the same experience. Jabby has pins too and hopefully with careful recovery they'll stay put! Did your Pita have any issues with wearing the "plastic cone" around her neck? Or did she lick at all? We're hoping the hair comes back in before it starts to get cold this Fall. Fortunately she's pee pad trained so she doesn't have to go outside to go potty. I'm sure this will get easier with each day! :)
