| Just a quick/simple question! Have you guys ever taken your furbaby a bath a day after their removal of any sort of stitching? I am so tempted to take Missy a shower. She had her skin tumor removed 11 days ago, yesterday the stitchings were removed, and she healed amazingly, so I am wondering if I should go ahead and give her a quick shower, and avoid rubbing any shampoo/conditioner on the stitching area? She is kinda oily, and I know she hates being oily... I can just tell-- scratching herself and all and looking down. The stitchings were left in tact for 10 full days!! so it is so healed. Should I go ahead and bathe her? He said I can take her a bath in a couple of days, so that's 2-3 days basically, but considering how healed she is since it was on her a lengthy time, i think it's okay? Would you guys do it if 1) It is SUPER healed 2) Your dog seems uncomfortable, because she is always use to being fresh!! ? Thanks for any future answers! |

| Yep, I'd do it. If you're worried though, just give her a washcloth or sponge bath so you can avoid the area all together.

| Go ahead just be very gentle. If she seems annoyed just rinse her off. |

| As long as the area is healed up then everything should be ok. Just be careful and everything should be fine. Glad things are ok with your little one.

| I think it's fine. Just don't soak the area with water and wash very gently. I bet it will make her feel much better!

Running around like crazy... not looking so down anymore!! Thanks for your opinions. You can't even see the scar at all!! you can only notice the short hair haha Thank you. |
