 vet
Not sure why vets pick one type of closure over another. I can not remember mine using removable sutures for a long time. Glue for spaying/neutering is what I am used to.....I haven't gone to a vet for tail docking in years, so I don't know what is the lastest until Kimberly posted. I know old time sutures are nothing but a place for infection. Wipe the tails daily with proxcide.
I am told metal sutures are best for sections...less risk of infection. I ask for sutures. A c-section incision is usually much longer then a spay..6 inches opposed to 3. I am not comfortable with glue for a large opening. JMO |
