Maybe males just have a more natural tendency to lick? I didn't use the cone on Oscar (panicked and almost choked himself to death the first time I put it on - thank God I was there!). I bought those little underwear things from the petstore to keep him covered up. At night, I left him 'naked' so that air could get to it and speed up healing.

Don't worry about infection - just try to keep him from licking the incision and don't have him outside a whole lot other than to potty (if he's outdoor trained).
