I just read the info again and I missed this part. "Three layers of sutures are placed to repair the abdominal wall, muscle and skin. We use three rows of sutures so that if the skin sutures come out, the incision will not open." Is this how your vets do it? Would that mean the abdominal wall and muscle sutures are dissolvable and the skin sutures are external?
