woodshavings...post neuter

Liquroice has woodshavings in his litter tray and is fully litter trained.

He is getting neutered next tuesday and i was wondering if the woodshavings would irrate the wound??

He doesnt have woodshavings anywhere else, just in the litter tray....should i change it for something else?

The vet is opting for 'letting the skin knit back together' as oppose to stitches or glue to seal the incision...does this affect it?
 
I use Vetbed post neuter and megazorb in the litter tray.

I've never heard of letting a wound Knit back together, but the last few neuters have been girls so....:?
 
I got a small bag of care fresh for sooty when he had his done, but that was before I discovered the joys of megazorb.
 
I use megazorb and the vet said this was ok to use after Bailey's neuter as it is soft. Woodshavings might be a bit rough? I also don't put hay in the tray for a few days, just in a rack or a pile in a corner they don't lie in.
