Ellie didnt have a dressing when she was spayed, just stitches. I would have thought it would be better for air to get to the stitches to help the wound dry out. I guess it is there for a reason though - why not give the vet a ring just to check?

Depends what the dressing is Nicky - some are special pads to draw out any gunk - ring your vet, they'll tell you! :thumbsup:

Oh no I hope you managed to get it off ok. I got one stuck on Molly a bit ago, I was trying to ease it off bit by bit but in the end I thought that perhaps it would hurt less if I just ripped it off WARNING - DONT DO IT!!!! It must've really hurt because she turned around and nipped me! Poor little Moll she forgave me straight away though and I think she was glad to have the dressing off because minutes later she was prancing around again :huggles:

I know we must have had bitches done from 8 or 9 differnt vets with no dressing the only differnce was the number of stiches 1 vet could do it with just 2 stiches and it allways heald the best so thats were i take any of mine that we get done.
