buddy picked out his stiches!!!!

[buddytheyorkie]

hi all
buddy was due to have his stiches out tomorrow and today i noticed he has picked them out is this ok

Didn't he have a cone on?
I would call the vet. Licking the area as well as picking at the stitches would most likely necessitate some antibiotics if he wasn't taking them. Also if he ate the stitch it may give him a tummy ache..

the vet said he doesn't like putting cones on them and said he put some kind of spray to keep he away

Well I would let the vet know . . . I guess it did not work. Did he just pull them out or was he taking them out the whole time.

I know when Gus Gus recently was Neutered his stitches was degradable. Anyways, at Petsmart they did have blow up cone/ life raft thing for dogs so they will not pull the stitches out.

I was paranoid the first two weeks that we set up a small
Play pen with his potty pads, and blanky so he would not have an accident in his cage and cause the wound to be infected. I was glad when it was all over to given him a bath though.

I hope everything turns out better in the end for Buddy and you. The process sucks cause you normally want to do normal things with your dog but can't cause of the stitches.
