When she was fixed it was her and her sister so they did absorbing sutures inside and glued the outside. Knowing how wild 2 pups can be they thought it the safest. Her sister had no trouble but my girl got what looked like a pimple next to her incision. Then one day a blue stitch popped through the surface. I had known a person with the same issue and knew thats what it was. I brought her for after surgery check up and asked. Vet said it happens sometimes and if I'm not squeamish I can pull it. If it doesn't come easy let it go and try again in a few days. If it sticks out real far I could clip it off. But more will probably work its way out.
She had 2 or 3 little bumps that had stitches pop out. Once they were big enough to grab I pulled them and they came right out. Its something with how the body reacts to a foreign object. It seals off the knot cutting the ends off so the stitch itself works its way out.
My chihuahua I think still have a regular stitch in his toe.![]()
Thanks. That is helpful to know so I don't freak about a possible abscess.
So far everything is going smoothly here. She is resting and the others are respecting.
