My dog had spay/tumor surgery. Are her stitches okay? She's licking!

Question

She had a tumor removed and was spayed. Do the stitches look like they are tight enough. Didnt get any after surgery instructions or pain meds. I am getting AN E COLLAR she has been licking ot. Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | spayed | 25 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Yes, it looks OK. They used a tension relieving suture pattern. You definitely need to stop her from licking so get the E-collar ASAP. If she seems painful to you call the vet that did the surgery and ask them to dispense some for you.
