loudlucky Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 So I was wondering how long your dogs' stitches had to stay in for after spay? My vet prefers 2.5 to 3 weeks...as he said thats how long the internal stitches can take to heal/dissolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Bear was supposed to be 2 weeks if she healed decently.....she bust an external stitch so ended up having the stitches in for a total of three weeks.

Mazz Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Our vet uses dissolving stitches internally, and medical super glue externally. Just had to take the dog back for a follow-up at between 10 and 14 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
