He is home!!! They let him come home early because hubby had our golden retriever there. The golden has bad allergies and it's not fun (this is our first year with this trouble). I did not know about the e collar until after he got home. I called them because he was licking himself and we now have one. He has stopped licking and is sleeping. He ate food as soon as he got home and drank water. He even went out to potty once.
Now, I just feel bad and I really hope I did the right thing. I know health wise I did. I think I just feel guilty. Maybe when he is back to himself I will feel better. I hope.
Thanks everyone for the support, it has helped so much.
Big HUgs to all of you
