does the vet or groomer take out stitches??

Question

i got a dog from someone and she needs her stitches (spaying) out
who do i call vet or groomer

Answer 1

Take her back to the vet that spayed her,as there is usually no charge for this.If you don't know the vet,call a vet of your choice.

Answer 2

Call a vet to make an appointment. The most invasive a groomer can get is expelling anal glands. Stitches should be removed by a vet.

Answer 3

usually the vet, but i've taken them out myself before.

if you do take them out or if the groomer does, just keep an eye on her incision for a couple weeks. once in a blue moon, a stitch will get infection -- this even happened to me after my last surgery... if you see any redness, then the vet probably needs to be seen

take care.

Answer 4

You should probably take the dog to a vet and have it done there. A groomer doesnt handle medical things when it comes to pets. So i would definetly go to a vet.

good luck! =]

Answer 5

If it was my dog, I would feel alot safer taking her to a veterinarian, than I would a groomer. That way the vet, can also check the incision site and make sure it's not infected and see that it's healing properly.

Answer 6

you need to take the dog to the vet if possible to the same one , but if not you can try banfield.net for a location near you .

Answer 7

The vet. They usually do it at no charge, it's included with the surgery.

Would you have a hairdresser do a medical procedure?

Answer 8

The vet will take them out with minimal or no charge.

Answer 9

Call your vet - the techs do the removal.

Answer 10

Vet, always.
