Photos of surgical incisions in three harbor seal pups at varying intervals from surgery to release. a Pv14–062 immediately after surgery. External, interrupted cruciate sutures are visible. b Pv14–123 on day 4 after surgery. This animal did not receive external skin sutures. c Pv14–062 on day 6 after surgery, and before the external sutures were removed. d Pv14–123 on day 14 after surgery. There is about a 10 mm section of the incision where the outermost skin layer is separated and not fully apposed after removal of external sutures. e Pv14–062 on day 24 after surgery. f Pv14–123 on day 28 after surgery. g Pv14–062 on day 48 after surgery. h Pv14–073 on day 78, prior to release
