I would give them a ring to see what their policy is. When my vets neuter the cost normally includes a post spay check a few days later.

How long ago was she spayed? Im guessing this is what shes had done At our vets we have to take them back after 3 days, then again after 10 days... however our rspca buns who get neutered only have to go back once after 3 days unless theres any other probs. Different places have diff ways I'd leave her on her blankie a few days hehe, bet shes loving it xXx

Yeah well thats what i thought because ted had to get stitches in her leg and she had to go back after 3 days then 10 to get them out, but maybe it's different with them being internal stitches, going to give them a ring this afternoon and see. she got it done last thursday, yeah she seems to have left the blanket alone, needs shook out it's covered in hay and poops :lol:

my bridge bun Goofball also has internal stitches too, but she could have still pull it. So what I do is to put those sterile medical pad 3 x 4 inch on the wound, then use non-stick green painter tape to cross tape the area. In the end, she can't reach it. There is some air to the wound as she moved, and the wound will still heal, and the above trick totally avoid any chance of a bun picking on the wound
