Just a quick one!

My little girl was neutered last Friday, had her checkup at the vets Wednesday (all good just swollen from fluid which will go when their removed) & due the stitches out Monday.

Today they've swollen slightly more & the stitches have kind have cut into it as their so tight so looks rather dry & sore. She hasnt licked them due to having her comfy collar on (so much better than the cone of shame!)

Is there a little bit of anything I can put on there to sooth it a little (I was thinking savlon?) to try reducing the swelling & therefore making the stitches slacken a bit. Or shall I just stay well clear & leave them be?

Thank you!
 
Yep I would leave alone too - I know it can look quite sore, but better not to do anything much to the area and it will heal completely once the stitches are out
