The vet where I used to live once told me that aluminum staples seem to
work better for small animals than sutures. They tend to not chew on
them so much. Perhaps your vet would be willing to put staples in
instead of sutures if you took him back? I've had surgeries done twice
that needed the staples, and they never messed with them.
