Well...headed back to the vet this morning...Juno chewed out the stitches!

Last night, she was able to get out one of the outer stitches. No we are headed back to the vet to see what needs to be done and then to get our girl a cone-head to wear for the week. Poor, silly cat!

It depends on the veterinarian. Some will put in another stitch/sueter some do not. Just make sure you keep the Elizabethan Collar (cone) on the cat, and yes they hate it. I am sure all will go well.

I don't know if they'll bother to replace one stitch. Better call first to see what they want to do. They might just give you a cone to prevent her from taking out any more stitches, no visit necessary.

I'm surprised she was able to remove the tube sock! Pixie tried so hard but couldn't do it. . .Juno must be really flexible .

What about the baby onesies with proper cut outs? This worked for Bijou, as I recall, who was constantly pulling out his stitches after surgery.

That is what I did with my dog when he was neutered a long time ago. Juno is just SOOOOOOO little. She weighs only 4.6 pounds!

Yeah, that's too little for those!
