When i had claude neutered he pulled his stiches out while at the vets and ended up with an infection etc
just wondering if they can do internal stiches like they do with the girls?
 
When Milo was castrated they didn't use stitches but glued the wound back together. This was really good, as there was nothing there for him to pick at. Perhaps you could ask your vet to consider doing the same. I think I remember reading that some vets don't bother to close the wound at all and it heals perfectly well also.
 
Hi, I have just had my baby mini lops operated on. The male and female both had their wounds glued nine days ago and have had no problems at all with their wounds.Certainly seems a good idea. They have not been bothered with it at all so it seems. I have to take them back tomorrow for a check as the female one had a slight bump at the end of her wound that they wanted to see again, in case it was a small hernia. So keeping my fingers crossed.

can they pull apart the glued bits? Dexter has took out his stitches and now been glued but he still won't leave his bits alone. I'm worried he's going to make a mess of himself :(
 
He seems to have calmed down a bit now, I have just had him on the sofa for a while. Thanks for the offer. If he keeps at it it will come in very handy. How long did Claude have to wear it?
