I think they can sometimes chew at them or scratch at them..
I would definately ring the vets tonight and get her seen to
Hope she is ok :)
 
she must of chew them cause iv done everything it said in the booklet i got. iv rang but wont be able to get out for another half an hour she didnt say what she was going to do about it though :?
 
A good rabbit vet will always put in buried, dissolvable stitches that the rabbit cannot get hold of. If yours didn't I would ask him why not.:?
 
If it's internally stitch, it shouldn't happen.

When my bridge bun Goofball had her surgery, there was the stitched wound. Although it's internally stitched, I put a big patch of non-sterile pad on it. They are about 4 in. x 3 in.

I then put non-stick "green" painter tape around the pad, wrap around her fur on all for corners (cross diagonal). They are non stick, as long as you remove them once a day, it doesn't stick to her skin, not to mention I warp it around her fur.

The method works perfectly. The pad is so large, she can't dig thru the pad and touch the wound. And if 1 pad is not large enough, get a 2nd one. A big box of 100 is only like $15.

Now, supposedly, they said the wound needs to breathe, but it will still sealed w/ the pad and prevent you a case of infection.
