Cecilia had the dissolving stitches too. She didn't lick her stitches and the vet never even mentioned using anything like a collar. I know that she is capable of reaching that area just fine any time she wants so she could have licked if she wanted. I would just take it off and if you can't be watching him put it back on, like if you have to leave or at night and stuff. I am not a vet of course but it seems like a very unnnecessary nusaince to your baby. |
