Yes, I believe it's normal. I think the vet's usually say their stiches can come out 2 weeks after surgery. (like 14 days)Snoops was neutered 10 days ago ... He seemed to be recovering just fine. He didn't wear his cone after the 3rd day or so - it just seemed too uncomfortable. He was very good about not licking his stitches. I would cleanse it with hydrogen peroxide and it never got puffy and I never saw pus.
I checked the stitches today and it is still scabbing... It looks like some of the scabs have come off and it is pink with maybe little dots of blood (similar to when a scab comes off of our body). Is this normal, I guess?
So it sounds about right.
