Dissolvable stitches

[Brackenwolf1]

hi,
I got my 3 boys castrated a few weeks ago and dissolvable stitches were put in. 2 of the boys stitches have dissolved but one of my boys hasn’t dissolved. How long should I leave it before taking him to the vets to get it removed?

Hi! Please ring your vet clinic and ask your vet for advice.

I would call your vet to confirm but I wouldn’t be concerned at all. All patients are different and some will take longer to dissolve. They will dissolve out with time and won’t cause issues. If they’re annoying him or your worried about it then book him in for a nurse to see him and he/she can take the remaining stitches out for you.
