Worried about Lola..

Aly&Poppy<3 · Feb 20, 2012

Our vets will put her in a collar after her spay.. so I'm taking the one Poppy was in for the journey home.. I'm going to ask if they will use glue but I don't know. I don't mind the stitching, it's just the collar. Poppy had a modified babygro because she was licking at her wound and it opened slightly but I don't know how Lola will be. I hope she will leave it alone. I refuse to put her in a collar, but I know she would destroy a babygro.

Has anyone had rabbits who have been spayed with stitching and they've just left it alone?

i got bloss and flora done one the same day and they were fine neither chewed stitches and both were eating the same day as op, hope lola leaves them alone, wouldnt it be easier if you could just explain to them why not to chew them :lol:

Can the vet give you a bandage?
(It's like a thin, very stretchy tubigrip that you put over her torso... the bunny ends up looking a bit poodle-like

:lol: )
I found that Ada chewed the bandage instead of the stitches, so it was an effective distraction, even if it rarely stayed covering the scar for long, and it didn't seem to do her digestion any harm.

Oooo, I'll ask, that sounds like a god send :lol: Poppy was a nightmare with her stitches and babygro, I hope Lola is different but she is a madam :roll: :lol:

None of ours have ever chewed their wounds - I though the stitches themselves were usually internalised?

Yeah, they stitch the inside but they stitch outside too, I asked if they used glue but the receptionist said they use stitches (she seemed to be in a rush though). I'm going to get my bf to ring them tomorrow and ask if they do have glue can they use it, and about the bandage. Saves the hassle we had with Poppy lol.

Poppy didn't chew, just licked and it opened slightly, it was fine once she had the babygro and left it alone lol

she feels the need to be difficult :lol:
