This whole event has not been good for you! With the vet not answering the phone, giving you the wrong meds, and now this. It will get better though, I promise.
How long is Maximus suppose to keep the collar on? I have always heard that if a dog licks an injury it will heal faster, even if it is an injury on us. I imagine he just wants to lick it to help it heal, especially if he is itching. Poor baby
. When I had my dalmation neutered, he never did have to where a collar and I let him take care of it. Of coarse, I kept a close eye on it.
