Is a 4-0 suture finer than a 2-0 suture?
Yes. "4-0" is another way of writing out "0000", and 2-0 is another way of writing out "00". The more zeroes, the finer the suture. US suture sizes generally range from 11-0 ("eleven-ought", which is incredibly fine suture used for eye surgery) to 5 (heavy suture used for orthopedic procedures).
How do you remove a suture from a dog's paw?
Your vet is the best source of advice on this procedure. Most vets will accept questions like this one by phone without charging you. Assuming the dog is very compliant, and the vet says the suture has been in long enough, it can safely be removed at home. Ideally, you'd have a pair of suture scissors which are specially designed to get under the suture without risk of puncturing the dog's skin. They have a special hook on the lower blade a bit like a bird's beak. If you don't have suture scissors, you'll have to be especially careful that your dog doesn't move during the procedure. Gently pull the suture away from the skin by one of the loose ends with a pair of tweezers. Snip the suture thread on one side, just below the knot (between the knot and the skin). Once the suture is cut on one side, it can be pulled out of the skin. Dried blood may cause the suture to stick slightly, but just pull gently and it should release. If it is harder to pull out than a pierced ear ring, consult a veterinarian.
