| When do you know... after neutering, when its ok to leave him w/o the ecollar ... and less supervision with him messing with his stitches?? .... He got neutered last tuesday and so far hes been healing nicely... but at times i see him aiming for the area to lick and stuff... i hate leaving the ecollar on him the entire day .. he looks so sad when he has it on... and i tried the diaper thing but he manages to slip out of it and it causes matts too around his thighs... Ive been off all of last week to supervise him but im going back to work tomorrow so i cant watch him like i have been .... so im wondering when or how long after the surgery did you guys just left him be w/o supervision? he already scabbed the area is no longer swollen. any advise??

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | wow - already a week ? Have you talked to the vet ? I wish I could help but if I were you ....I would ask the vet first cause a week is quite good for healing ....and I would think ...remember I said THINK - that the collar could be done with - is he really trying to pull them out ? |

| I wish I could help but I wasn't to keen about having an ecollar on Coco while I wasn't home. I would be worried that she might get stuck in it or something. I used a onesie and it worked but Coco never even got near her stitches so technically the onesie was just because she looked cute in it..haha...kissssesss for Chicle from me and Coco.

| I know can u believe its already a week.. but boy what a week... imma call my vet tomorrow .... Chicle been w/o his collar or diaper for most of the afternoon... and ive been keeping him busy so that he doesnt even think of going down there... i think the diaper worked well b/c it got to scab really quick...there was just enough breathing room for the sutures to breathe and at the same time his pipi wasnt tucked inside the diaper so he was able to pee while wearing the diaper... but the down side was the matting ..ughhhhhhh i hate those! hes not really trying to pull them b/c the stitches are inside ... what he wants to do is lick around the area. awwww Chicle loves the kisses ... and sends em back to ya girls
