No need to surture,m no blood or open wound. I have never had any infection. Do the same for the dew claws..use a small clamp to get a good hold on the claw..they are so tiny. Good luck
The vet I took my pups to did it this way. Sure, they screamed and hollered but there was very LITTLE blood involved. My friend did her pups with scissors. I was traumatized for life! What can I say, she's more of a woman than I am. I'm a wimp at stuff like this! LOL
