Bailey pulled her stitches out - not all at once, but a few different times. We caught her the first time, and then brought her back in to the vet. The vet told me about the onesie trick after that visit. Even after the onesie AND a plastic cone on her head, she managed to somehow get the remainder of the stitches out. Normally vets don't use dissolvable stitches on females because they want the girls to come back in & get checked out after the spay (at least that's what my vet told me). Juts make sure to observe the incision site & make sure she's not bleeding. Make sure to bring her back into the vet if you think something's wrong though. Normally the post-op care is covered with the spay fee. Hope all is well!
