So the vet that cropped my puppy's ears is quite a distance away and he still has to get his stitches taken out...Can/will his regular vet take the stitches out even if he doesn't crop? Is it important that he goes to the same vet that did his ears? If it is, I will drive him out there if I need to.
The vet said 2-2 1/2 weeks until the stitches are removed, I've read somewhere on here that it isn't usually that long. Or does it just depend?
Also, his ears have dried blood on them. At the moment they're taped to a cup, do I just leave the dried blood on there? I don't want to put anything on them as far as ointment or anything goes but am I supposed to "clean" them?
I really appreciate the help! I know i ask a lot of questions. People ask me if he's my first puppy, although he is my first puppy I've gotten cropped and my first dobe, he isn't my first puppy...but I'm WAY more particular and helicoptery with him than i was with my others. I've read on here that "they're not dogs, they're dobermans" and if that isn't the truth lol
