What is the proper way to remove stitches after your cat is spayed?
Answer:My male cat had to be opened in 2 places to neuter him, then had to return 6 months later and was opened again. The vet said the cat would try to remove the stitches himself while grooming and unless one got infected, I would not need to come back in. If, by some chance, any stitches remained when the wound was well approximated that the cat didn't remove, I could remove them with small embroidery scissors. Maybe because I was a nurse and had experience removing sutures he felt comfortable with me removing any that remained. You can always call your vet to find out what to do for your little one. ~ BubbejoAnswerThey need to be taken back to the vet to have the stitches removed!

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
