My older dog got her leg cut and it too over 300 stitches 2 times to put it back together.
After about 3 weeks of trying everything to keep things together with the staples and wrapping and everything we could think of.
The vet finally said he did not think we would be able to save her skin...it kept rotting off and would not stretch any farther!
I said OK and took Missie home and went to the garden. I got a great big piece of Aloevera and ran it thru the blender outer skin and all! 3 days later everything was starting to heal and she was healed in about 5 more days! I use my aloe all the time for the animals!!!
