Its now been 7 days, cone day finally came! Took the cone off, washed him (thank goodness!) and went for a walk. We came back, Ellington started biting the wound.....blood and stitches.

Rushed back to vets, with cone back on. Glued back together after a cleaning up.

Ellington is now on antibiotics, and needs the cone for perhaps 10-14 days.

So, it just goes to prove, damage could still be done, despite lots of people (and vet) believing not.

I have ordered a soft collar online, as vet and pet shop both dont stock any. the kiss-e collar will take too long to get here, so have got a uk equivilent.
