Do you think he meant that it would be pushed up to the skin? Or actually all the way out? I feel something thin and plasticky just under his skin, near where the surgical site was.What does an internal suture which is coming ot the surface of the skin feel and look like?
That's what it is.
If he seems okay otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
It may or may not actually push through the skin.
Add:
It probably won't push through.
If it does, you should be able to get ahold of it with a tweezers %26amp; give it a very gentle tug. If it doesn't easily come out just snip off what's already through.
Of course, your vet should be glad to do this free of charge since it's all follow up from the surgery.What does an internal suture which is coming ot the surface of the skin feel and look like?
Internal stitches are usually made with a thread that dissolves over a period of time. My dog actually had a piece stick through about a month after he got neutered. I took him in and they clipped it off and said that if any others did the same thing to just clip them so he wouldn't mess with them and irritate the area more.
That happened with my sister's dog quite some time after her spay. They noticed two bumps on her surgery scar that were hard, slightly red and irritated looking.
They took her back to the vet who said that the underlying tissue had scared and was pushing the two sutures out. He was able to remove them right then and there.
After that, she has had not more problems and you can barely see her scar.
