I had my pups dew claws removed at 2 days old, three pups had double claws so my vet 'stapled' the wound together, did not give us any advice on care or anything, we took the pups back a week later and two of the three pups now have an infection where the staple was and I have been given antibiotics for the pups.
My query is, I have never heard of staples being used for this sort of thing and that when we took the pups back for check up, the vet had to cut off the scab to remove the staple which has opened up a sore area on my pups legs.
The infection was under the scab around the staple, only a little puss came away, but now my poor darlings are left with sore areas.
I am reluctant to give the antibiotics.
Other breeders I have spoken to say that if the area is too big after removal either their vet uses a stitch or a purple coloured powder/liquid. my vet used staples and yellow powder
I AM NOT A HAPPY PERSON AT THE MOMENT!
