I would check to see if he pulled any of them out, or if the incision looks red, swollen, or if there is pus coming from it. Should you see any of this, Colt will need to see a vet right away. I would keep an Ecollar on him to keep him from licking at his incision further. You can get one from a pet store or you can make one yourself: http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html
