My kitty got neutered two days ago and they shaved a spot in his belly to tattoo a little line to indicate that he has been fixed. The tattoo seems to be really bothering him, I have to leave the e collar on just to stop him from chewing on it, he leaves the surgery site itself alone.
I would really like to be able to take the e collar off since he can't eat or drink by himself and keeps falling and banging in to stuff cuz he can't see.
It looks like they put some surgical glue or something over the tattoo, which I suspect is what's really bothering him, so does anyone have any experience with this or know if that stupid glue has to stay there? Would it be ok if i used some Vaseline to try to gently remove it?
Or any other advice to ease his discomfort with the tattoo?
