He hates his E-collar but other than that he is great!
And....Lily was happy that he was home too!! I definitely didn't think that would happen haha.

AWWWW Sweet Taka. I am so glad that he is now home with you. Prayers for his recovery.

So apparently the E-collar is worthless for this little turd....he is licking his wound/stitches like the collar isn't even there!! How do I stop this?? It's bleeding and opening up in some places. I was wondering if anyone here knew how to stop this before I drive 40 mins to the vet lol

I will be praying for Taka and you. I am sure all will go well and the wait will be the hardest part.

You can find them at Wal-mart in the baby section. If your dog weighs anything under 4 lbs then a small will do. If very tiny then an XS or premie. If he's a lot bigger than 4 lbs. then I would get a medium. Good luck. Let me know how they work for you.

I found a onesie (?) here at the store, i put it on him last night while we were sleeping and woke up this morning with it off of him. I don't know how he managed that one since its buttoned and everything and he has an e-collar on so he couldn't have gotten it over his head, so i have no idea how he did it. Maybe secretly Lily does like him and helped him out!?! Maybe the sock with holes idea will work, ill try it tonight. We go back to the vet on the 24th to get the stitches out so only 4 days longer!! thanks everyone!!
