Question
Hello Marie, a few questions please.
My beagle Jack just had a mole removed from the side of his nose. He received 3 stitches from it. Are the stitches fairly durable to stay in? I've not tended to sutures in this area before, anything in particular I should keep an eye out for? Can I put vitamin E oil on the area?  Thank you kindly for any input :)

Answer
Hello - I am sure your vet must have said to keep the area clean and dry?  Did they tell you when they need to be removed...7-10 days???
What country are you in??? I can make some suggestions on supplements..
Let me know, Thanks
Marie
