What to do if I can feel stitches under my dogs skin that haven't dissolved?
My dog got a few mammary tumors removed about a year and a half ago, and we can still feel the 'dissolvable' stitches under her skin. Is this normal?
It can take up to 10-14 days for sutures to dissolve. And the incision can still feel "lumpy" after that. Scar tissue, scanning, etc. But if you are concerned with the healing after those 2 weeks, you should probably visit your vet to make sure all is well.
