Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I have heard a few mixed opinions about dogs licking stitches. Our vet strictly said not to let them lick but other area vets say the saliva will help her heal. Opinions guys? Maybe you can help me out here.

Awww you got a cone!!! Niko didn't get a cone (just got neutered yesterday, 8/9/11)! Sad But the vet said if he's really picking at in incision site to put some Vick's Vapo-rub NEAR the stitches ("Not on the stiches, or you will be peeling him off the ceiling")...

Hope that helps! He (again, he, so it's probably different for you) has all internal sutures, so there is nothing to pick at, just lick. And it looks like its healing well. Good luck and I hope someone has a better answer for you, but the way I'm looking at it is: if its healing well, and s/he isn't picking at it, then it should be fine...

Was google any help?

Good luck & love your signature!!
