dog allergic to dissolvable stitches?

Hi friends,

We’ve had a new shelter dog for about a month/six weeks who was spayed at the shelter. She’s been an itchy little critter ever since we brought her home and a change to good, corn-free food has not changed this. Nor has a daily Benadryl. It occurred to me today that perhaps she’s allergic to the dissolvable spay sutures. Have you knowledge of such a thing?

Vet is closed…otherwise I’d ask them.

Thanks!

cant speak for dogs but I have a friend that is allergic to some types of sutures. Also, can’t speak for your local allergens but right now the oak pollen in Central Fla has my one dog itching; took him for a shot about a week ago to solve that problem. His is an annual event, lol.

Thank you! We live in the desert, so no oak pollen here, but I’m sure there’s plenty of other stuff floating around…
