since the removal of said stitch, jessie has also managed to tug at the others ...although not get them out, I rang the vet as my efforts at cleaning the wound (cos it was weeping slightly) didn't seem enough to me, he assures me that even though jessie has torn her stitch holes somewhat, the wounds is still closed and it will settle..  :-  I have started to give the arnica again Jane, as its getting inflamed slightly, I hope this is ok, and cleanin it as you mentioned before, but she isn't impressed...I can tell ya  ;)

is there anything else I can try??? shes still wearing the baby vests, cos thats the only way I can keep her away, and it seems she only got rattled by stitches when they started to heal and get itchy......help!

I'm sure the wound will heal up completely once those stitches are out - some dogs do seem to find the stitches themselves v irritating. Just try & keep the area as dry & clean as poss - I have used a medicated powder in the past when we've had bitches spayed. Jessie might perhaps be better with one of those awful lampshades so you can take the baby vest off & let the air get to the area?

I agree with Jane.  Perhaps the vest is rubbing on them a little too which may irratate her (I'm talking from my own experience of having a c.section, not that I wore a vest :o ;D ;))

Canine Chemists have something called a "Neck Brace" which is more of a built-up collar with a soft lining, it says it stops wound licking & is less than £3 - might be worth trying ;)

just had to add that Jessie had her remaining   ::) two stitches out today, vet said she was a good girl..  ;D  althouh she did try to get out cos I think she thought he was gonna spay her again..   ;D  I bought some more drontal tablets as she will need worming again... and I was surprised at the price...he only charged me £4.60 for the two tablets... I thought I paid more than that before..

the girls boosters are both in November...quite by accident..but how convenient is that???  :o  ;D   she was bum wiggling going into vets...but you should see the one she did when we left  ;D
