Since you’ve already read about what happened…now it’s time to show you the pictures.

Here is the irritated little girl with her swollen lip, after returning from the vet.

The bottom lip is visibly red and puffy, both from the surgery and the wire pin that is right there inside her mouth.

Here is a shot of the exterior of the staple that is holding the bones together. I am not able to show a picture of the inside of her mouth – cat owners will probably understand why – but it looks like the same wire used for braces, just without the braces part.
