| Since he chewed through the onesie he needs an e-collar. The vet should've given him one but you can get them at the pet store. Honestly, maybe I am overly paranoid but because it is very unhealthy and unsafe for him to have access to his stitches (he could try and pull them out), I would hold him until you can get a collar.

| Call your Vet... Ask him for an Elizabethan Collar. When my Papillion was neutered he came out of the anesth. and pulled all the stitches out. They had to re-anesth. him and suture again. He came home with the collar and no more problems. I hope this helps... Take-Care, Baron's Mom
