It depends on the kind of stitches he uses. If he uses the internal stitches, then they will dissolve over time by themselves. I am actually very surprised how many still use the old external stitches. I think those come out in 7-10 days.

The first day they are usually kind of sleepy and sore. The second day Gracie was feeling better and the third day I would hardly have known she had surgery. Dog's recover much more quickly from these things than people do.

I have never used a cone on any of my animals after surgery and I have had many spayed and neutered. Of course if your not with her you may want to have one on her just in case. I hate those hard plastic things the vet has. It is so stressful on their necks. Someone on YT was selling the soft cones in a small size but they are also available on amazon . com. I guess it's too late for you to order one though.

She will be better before you know it.

Good luck...and prayers for a speedy recovery!

Good luck tomorrow and prayers for a speedy recovery. It took Trixie about a week till she was her normal self.

Her vet sent her home with a soft cone so that she wouldn't lick her stitches.

Let us know how she is doing.....and try to keep yourself busy.

How old is your Yorkie?

Good luck with Brandy's spay tomorrow, she will do just great. When Maggie was spayed, they sent me home with some pain meds. We wound up giving her one dose that night and she was okay the next morning, just a little bit quiet. You'll want to keep her quiet for sure for the first few days. Once Brandy starts to feel a bit better, it will probably be hard to keep her from running around and jumping, but you definitely want to be calm.

I put a onesie on Maggie and she peed right thru it before I could get to her. lol. It certainly didn't hurt anything, I just changed her into another. I have soft cone collars called the Kiss-E Collar, if you should decide you want to try one of them for Brandy. Best of luck and let us know how she does.
