my chuck had to go to the vets 2 weeks ago to have an egg removed ,all wet well, she seemed fine untill this morning. i usually wake her up when the lights go on so she is the first to warm up and feed ,but when i got her up thismorning her stiches had split open and her insides are hanging out .is there any reason for this?

Is she by herself in the cage?

yes she was in a viv on her own . i think she might have worn them away .i had no substrate only a rock for over a week then i looked at the wound and it looked healed so i put sand back in there a couple of days ago then i found her .
unfortunatly she has died a couple of hours after the vet had put her back together. rip

Wow! Thats a shame, maybe like Tom said bad stitch job, maybe she caught a loose one on a rock or something and started to pull out ! Hope she will be okay ! :0) Eve
