| Toby was neutered yesterday Last night when I picked him up he seemed a little out of it but today it was a totally different story. He is definately back to normal, especially after I gave him his pain medication. But the thing is the doctor sent him home with an e-collar on, he really does not mind it but he can still lick at his incision with it on. Is there anything else that I could do to prevent him from licking the incision (there are no stitches just a special kind of surgical tape or adhesive). Tomorrow I have to leave for around 4 hours should I put him in his crate with the e-collar on? usually i leave him out and he just lays around, but I dont want him to lick his incision all day! Thanks in advance. |

| Gosh I would say put a onesie on him, but Then again I never left mine with them on alone! You really don't want him licking it. But Create or not he can and will if he can reach it. DO you HAVE to go out? Is there some one who can stay with him? Call the vet and ask if the glued and stitched him or Just stitches. With my male it turned out they did both and he would not have gotten the stitches open even if he tried!!!

| The onesie is a perfect solution for when he is in the crate! That way he can be comfortable and not bother his stitches. When Franklin was neutered, bought a small pack of baby onesies from Walmart and cut a hole in the tail.
