I forgot to tell you that I took Peanut to the vets. The nurse said the sutures were pretty much on their way out, there was a scab (which I may have confused with a stitch!  :evillaugh:) but apart from that, all looked well!

And the extra bonus was they didn't charge me!  ;)

I too have had to have dissolvable sutures removed.  I think a trip to the vet would be worthwhile.

I have had to have dissolvable stitches removed, I would ring the vet and ask how long they should be there before they dissolve.

Dissolvable sutures
« Reply #1 on: October 16, 2010, 23:49:10 PM »
The RSPCA told me that when Peanut was spayed, the sutures were dissolvable.

She was spayed just over 3 weeks ago but 2 stitches are still sticking out of her side!!!  :-:

Am I wrong in assuming dissolvable sutures would be inside of her, not outside?

Does she need taking to the vet? I'm thinking these remaining 2 need physically removing!
