Hi,
I made an earlier post on my gerbil’s scent gland tumour removal surgery. It has been 8 days since then and I have noticed he has pulled out one of the stitches. Has this happened to anyone else’s gerbils?!

Is there skin hanging open? Like a gaping hole? If it is, then you need to bring him back to get stitched up. But if the incision is still closed and healing nicely, then I would just keep an eye on it. I’m not an expert, but I think 8 days is enough time for the skin to start mending itself.

Thanks for the reply, we took him to the vets after being told he'd need more stitches but from the time we sent photos to the vets and the consultation it had healed so much that they sent us away with antibiotics. He is now looking great!
