Archie just got neutered and I had the same issues with the e-collar. I couldn't take it anymore. I called the vet and told her I'm taking it off. Archie never licked his stitches or bit it. We just kept our eye on him and if he even so much as went near it, we just said, "NO!" And that was that. I hate the e-collar. He cries when he sees it!
Maybe I'm not understanding why your dog can't eat? Archie stayed at the vet's overnight and didn't eat the food they gave him, but he ate a lot when he came home. No one told us not to feed him. Is there something else that's going on? |
