Guest Doglibrarian Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 My Maisie had two molars extracted 2 days ago, and after some motherly panic about swelling. all seems well. Our vet gave us an e-collar to keep Maisie from pawing at her sutures. Husband thinks we can leave it off of her now full-time, as she hasnt shown any interest in pawing at her sutures when the collar is off and were monitoring her. Im concerned theres still a risk. Thoughts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 We've never used one for molar extractions. Are there any external stitches?

Guest Doglibrarian Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) No, but she did just paw at her cheek slightly (front paw only, so just a gentle swipe) so I'm wondering if the impulse for further scratching is there. I'd just hate for her to get going with her back foot and tear up the internal stitches...but maybe I'm being overly cautious.

tbhounds Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Never seen the use of an e-collar post dentistry. If she’s pawing at her face something is amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
