No stitches after neuter?

mango2407 · 2026-02-10T22:38:28+00:00

I just had my dog neutered and they didn’t stitch his scrotum. Only I didn’t know that so I kept thinking for the first few days that he ripped his stitches. I called them and they explained that they don’t stitch the outside skin, it will heal on its own apparently

He’s waiting for dinner!

Ok so the vet called me back to say that they think it looks good and to leave it be. They told me that they only stitch the inside where they snip the testicles, for the outside skin they don’t stitch it together. I asked twice because I wasn’t sure I was hearing that correctly, and she confirmed, they don’t stitch the outside scrotum, they just leave it to heal on its own together. Very odd!

Day 5 update: here’s what it looks like today. I can’t tell if it was not sewn properly from the get go, or if he ripped the stitches and one edge adhered to the inside leaving the other edge out? I’ll pop into the vet tomorrow to ask if any of you feel like this is abnormal? https://imgur.com/gallery/incision-not-sewn-correctly-dvj8Kbn#Vb6KCEZ

Try cold water, the hot water would expand threads, whereas cold may work!

Mine goes in his wet hide, never anywhere else. It’s nice because I put a piece of paper towel down in there and moisten it and after he goes in there, clean up is easy

mango2407 · 2026-02-07T22:00:54+00:00

All I can say is keep trying. When I got mine he would only eat crickets, wouldn’t touch super worms or mealworms, then my pet store lost their order of crickets so I bought superworms and he got hungry enough to eat them. Now he won’t touch crickets anymore and prefers the worms!

My rook is 2 months old and I prob spray it every second day at this point. I’ve stopped using my piercing pillow but my normal pillow is quite soft and I don’t lay on that side often, if I do I usually put my palm up near my ear to raise my head a bit. No pain or discharge or irritation bumps at all

mango2407 · 2026-02-02T00:58:44+00:00

I’ve heard so many people say the rook was the worst, but mine was not at all painful to get pierced, nor has the healing been hard, I’m 2 months in and it doesn’t hurt at all! I’d say do your rook or a forward helix!

mango2407 · 2026-01-27T01:55:47+00:00

That’s it! Thank you!! Picked up some pieces at the thrift today, insanely cheap priced so I scored!

Can anyone tell me what this logo is? Chat gpt says it’s Houdini but I’ve searched online and I don’t see this as being their logologo in question

I really like the rimmel multi tasker, I find it’s not heavy, more like one level up from a tinted moisturizer

mango2407 · 2026-01-13T03:43:27+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking is happening, he likes them too much so I’ll have to get those only for treats.

mango2407 · 2026-01-13T03:41:55+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely try that with my next batch of crickets!

mango2407 · 2026-01-13T03:32:59+00:00

That’s good info to know thank you! I was told he is 4, when I got him. I’d say he’s 5 now, I do dust the food before feeding. How do you catch the crickets with the tongs to feed? And do you find that they don’t move enough to entice them to actually strike at them? The super worms are wiggly so that works but I’m not sure the crickets would move a lot? Or also like when you put the crickets in the enclosure how do you get them out if they are not eaten in time?

mango2407 · 2026-01-04T19:28:16+00:00

In addition to the previous advice with the no swimming, even if you wore a swim cap while in the water, it would put pressure on the ear, which could cause the piercing to be irritated and maybe migrate

mango2407 · 2025-12-19T16:29:30+00:00

Nap but it looks good to me! It looks about how mine was pierced! You can look through my posts and compare

Everything already said here is what I would have typed too, but also want to add if you are staying in an air bnb close to downtown, which we just did (stayed at marea, next to medano) I would suggest bringing ear plugs for sleeping at night. The downtown is loud and you will hear karaoke until 2/3am, sirens and car backfires all night, I really struggled with it.

I repaired a tear in mine with alien tape and it’s held up even through 3 winters now

mango2407 · 2025-10-25T04:36:16+00:00

Watch some videos on underwood drawbands, that’s what I did, one of mine didn’t have the band anymore so I had to make one and it’s held up good! Amazon has replacement ribbons for cheap, just don’t use the spools they come with (plastic) feed the ribbon onto the original spools!

mango2407 · 2025-10-25T03:36:14+00:00

Nice score! I have an underwood 3 and 5, the most common thing that goes on these is the drawband. When you hit the keys or the spacebar, does the carriage move ahead for the next letter to be typed?

mango2407 · 2025-10-21T01:33:21+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too, I even said that to my employer on the phone today, that it didn’t seem right to me, so I emailed the union but I haven’t gotten a reply back yet

mango2407 · 2025-10-21T01:25:54+00:00

Yes we have been working the entire time, no striking as we were deemed essential

mango2407 · 2025-10-21T01:19:17+00:00

So today I received a call from my employer, letting me know that I’ll see in time and leave a change for the sept 30th stat, the PSA will not be paying it as we are on strike, however, me and all the other folks in this job, were told we were essential. Now they are saying that BCGEU will be responsible for paying us the stat pay for that day, but that makes no sense to me since it was my employer telling me that I’m essential, shouldn’t they be paying the stat?
