In another thread, I'm documenting Jam's surgery in depth - however, I have a question that I don't want getting buried in the rest of it!
She has a large run of stitches down her belly as a result, done on the 20th.
I noticed today that her belly scales have started going creamy coloured - getting ready to turn into shedding scales, and I'm a bit concerned in case she sheds the stitches along with the scales. I understand it normally takes about four weeks to heal...
We've got a few days yet before she does shed properly, but I wondered if anyone else had any information /experience with such a situation - I don't want to come home and find she's gone and torn herself open or some such horror! :?
I've been riffling through old threads for the last couple of hours, but haven't found anything useful yet.
