it was touch an go she stayed in for three days I'm wondering as i only just picked her up an forgot to ask how long her stitches have stay in i am going back tomorrow so she can have temperture an other stuff done , but can't wait that long to find out any ideas .

Answer 1

Non-dissolvable skin sutures should be left in for 10 days. If they're dissolvable (which is unlikely but possible) then they'll fall out on their own. Make sure she doesn't lick or chew at the wound - even if she doesn't pull the stitches out it increases the risk of infection. She must have been quite ill - pyometra infections are nasty (they're one of the main reasons we recommend spaying dogs). I hope she does well! :)

Answer 2

Between 5 and 10 days depending on how she heals. Hope she has a collar on to stop her from licking the wound, she will need lots of rest and TLC.

Answer 3

pyometria?
Usually they are stitched inside and out. Inside are dissolving and outside are ready to come out in 7 - 10 days.

Answer 4

Well my dog has just been spayed and has stiches in now,they have to be removed after 10days,[unless there disolvable ones]make sure she doesn't try to pull the stiches out.

Answer 5

Just keep her quiet, and call so you know how long not to feed or water her after a surgery in that area for cats.

Answer 6

Stitches, unless they're self-dissolving, generally get taken out after10 days. You need to be sure they stay dry and that she can't lick or pull at them.

Answer 7

usually ten days make sure she has one of them dog cones so she cant pull the stitches out

Answer 8

call your vet and ask.
