Donating YT 10K Club Member | Other side of the coin.....I didn't use the collar nor a onsie...and during the night Ramsey removed her own stitches. That prompted a trip to the emergency vets because I was afraid the incision would pop open. They assure me it would be fine and it healed fine. The next female I have spayed will wear a onsie at least the first day/evening. That being said...if Pearla hasn't bothered her stitches before now, she probably won't. Ramsey's diet was only resticted the same day home. Ramsey was like, Lulu, the day after...like nothing had happened....minus her stitches.

| A onesie is fine to use (I asked Ellie's vet specifically). If you see her try to get to the stitches through it though the e-collar has to go back on. You also have to make sure she can't get to the incision through the leg holes.

| Layla was 3 lbs when she was spayed and she fit into a premie. so you can try 0-3 months and i'm sure that wil fit fine.. after the first few days she was really itnersted in her stiches but i only needed the onesies at night when i could't keep an eye on her |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | if she's not bothered by the e-collar i say leave it on. This way you know she won't get at them. The incision shouldn't get too dirty unless she's overactive and it bleeds a little or she gets dirty somehow. You can clean it with warm water and a wash cloth.
