what is the best way to remove surgery stitches from a female dog?

my dog was spayed 9 days ago. how and what is the best way to remove the surgery stitchs, with the least amount of pain for all involved.

take it back to the vet

with your teeth, followed by a nice tounge bath

with your eyes open

acid

just rip them out,nah i have no idea, aren't you supposed to go to the vet.cheapskate

Take ethe dog back to the vet for removal.Most vets use desolving stiches that go away as the wound heals. They shoudl have told you what to do at the vet.

If the vet didn't tell you to bring her back, then just leave them there. They will eventually come out. Also, the dog may get sick of them and pull them out herself.

get cuticle clippers and cut them and then remove them by pulling. it will not hurt them you might have to tug a bit but i have removed all of my dogs stitches

Her stitches should dissolve by them self. They should not be removed. Check with your vet before doing anything.

i do have to agree, if you have to ask that question here, take it back to vet.DO NOT LET THE DOG PULL THEM OUT HERSELF!the stitches used for dogs will not dissolve and if the vet used the ones that will dont take your dog back to that vet.

Don't do it yourself. Either leave them in or take the dog back to your vet.

Have the vet do it.

Shouldn't you have a re-visit to the vet to have that done?

I had my dog spayed and the stitches dissolved away. Check with your vet. Don't try home "surgery" because you may make matters worse than they are.

Your vet should remove them for free. Get a bath for your baby ASAP.

the best way would be to let the vet do it!!!! don't take your dog's stiches out!

by waiting at least two or three weeks, by then the wounds(many levels of skin and muscle involved) and then letting the VET remove them! otherwise you'll have to take your pooch back to the vet anyhow,and she might be infected with something nasty cause you messed with your dog's stitches.....(and it will be MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE...)

The same way you would remove them from a male dog silly..............CALL THE DAMN VET!!!! DUMMY!!!!

removing stitches is easy. Just cut below the knot and pull the stitch out with tweezers. If you do it yourself just be very careful not to leave any in or she could get an infection.
