In parts where the staples stayed put there&#8217;s just a little line, but other parts are still red even at 4 weeks. I would guess the scar is about 85% healed. She still licks it some.

Katie still doesn&#8217;t put much weight on the hurt leg, but doesn&#8217;t keep it raised off the ground either.
