Hello everyone! I finally brought my Dobie girl home last week. When we picked her up from the breeder, she said I could remove the ear crop stitches myself at home with a nail clipper. I’ve looked and I only see stitches from the middle of each ear to the tips. Shouldn’t there be stitches at the base of the ear, too? Could it be I’m just not seeing them because it’s now 6 days post-crop? Maybe I should just bring her to a vet to have the stitches removed? I’m so worried I’m going to make a mistake...
Also, her ears are healing but are very crusty. I’ve read not to pull the scabs, so I won’t, but is there any way to get rid of the crusting (or just wait it out)?
I’m new here but will try to figure out how to post a photo. Thanks in advance!
