Fudge was neutered a few weeks ago, I've been checking the wound everyday as it had been swollen and just discovered what looks to be a stitch coming out of one of his testicles :? A scab had been were the stitch now is. Tried gently pulling it but its not coming out, has anybody heard of this before?
 
I would take him back to the vet,the stitches should have dissolved by now,they are not the type to be removed.
 
When George was neutered, his stitches were dissolvable, and he still had them 4 or 5 weeks after neutering. When i took him to the vets, they said it was normal, and they would eventually dissolve :)

If they look sore/inflamed/swollen or anything, i would take him back. You could always call the vets and ask to speak to the vet on the phone for peace of mind :) xXx
 
you could always give homeopath remedy silicea which helps encourage foreign bodies out of the skin!
 
Couldn't get him to the vet today but he's booked in for tomorrow. He's okay, the area isn't swollen and looks fine apart from the big stitch sticking out :roll: Very odd.
 
Rabbit spayed, now limping - normal?

Hi, I had my bun Dolly speyed yesterday, she is fine today, eating and drinking lots other than her back right leg which she is limping on badly. She is only in a small recovery cage but definately has a limp. Could this be something to do with her wound? Also, she has not been shaved so it is quite difficult to see where the wound is without disturbing her too much!!

Has anyone else had this with their bun after being speyed? She is going back to the vet tomorrow for her post-op check so will ask then but am a bit worried about accusing them of doing something to her leg :?
 
Just back from the vets, they just cut the stitch and said the rest will dissolve by itself :D Worrying about nothing :roll: They didn't even charge me anything for it, I like my vets :lol:
