What is the cpt code for a catheter removal?
AnswerI don't think there is one. It should be included in "catheter insertion." The same thing happens if you need stitches, getting the stitches removed isn't even billed because its included in the charges for when they sewed you up.
Can you give a dog a bath with stitches?
maybe it all depends how long your dog has had the stitches in and if they are opening. If they aren't just SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY bathe away from the stitches then take VERY LITTLE soap and lather up the skin and fur around the wound. When done hand wash the soap VERY CAREFULLY, this could take awhile but you don't want the stitches opening or getting infected
