The doctor will remove my stitches in three more days. That comedian's stories kept us in stitches! The seamstress stitches patches today!
Most stitches now a days are synthetic...so no
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
What did her doctor recommend? In general, with a minor procedure and a small number of sutures (stitches), the area can be exposed to water within 8-10 days. If the stitches are out and there are no open areas, it is probably safe, but please follow your doctor's advice; he or she knows your child and is looking out for her best interest.
10 days
10 days.
No I would say not because it was just stitches being taken out so it shouldn't
Usually 10 to 14 days.
Absorbable stitches lose their strength in a matter of days or weeks and are eventually absorbed by the tissue. This characteristic is useful for the suturing of subcutaneous tissues.
Don't talk to much and don't eat on it don't laugh and don't worry it will disolve in like 5 days PS i had stitches in my mouth!
You have to keep stitches dry for at least two days after getting them. You should check with your doctor to see if they should be kept dry for a longer period of time.
The Doctor Who put them in will be able to best judge how long they need to be left in, but on average stitches on the face should be left in for 3-5 days, stitches on the body or scalp 7-10 days, and stitches on extremities 10-14 days. When a stitch is put in on a joint like the elbow or knee, the wound will take longer to heal and stitches should be left in for a full two weeks. Stitches being left in for too long risk infection and painful extraction and stitches removed too soon can result in the wound opening up again.
