Hi!! I have a little story to tell you about our dog Lacey. She just got spayed not just this past Monday, but the Monday before. She had six stitches on her stomach from it, and we were going to make an appointment to take her to the vet to get her stitches removed (the vet said it should be 10-14 days after she was spayed). Well, today it was 10 days since she got spayed, and we thought that we could just take them out ourselves. We were wrong! We went to start to take them out, and we saw how tightly they were tied on. There were only a few that we could even cut off!!! We, then, got scared because one of the places where we got a stitch out looked like it was starting to open up!!! So, we called the vet and had to take her in. It turns out that she was fine but on Tuesday we are taking her back in to have the other stitches removed. So, my point after all of this is that you should NOT try to take your dog's stitches out!!!!! It is a lot better to just have a vet take them out and clean out where the incision was!!!!
OOPS!! Guess you guys will never try that again! Sorry, but that's kinda funny. Poor Lacey. Did she whine? Say hi 2 everyone 4 me. C U Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHello Lena!!! Ya...we won't do it again!!! No, actually she didn't wine, surprisingly (she's a little bit of a baby hehe). We just laid her down and only snipped the stitch itself, so it didn't even hurt her skin. See you tomorrow!!! :D
