Thanks. I did have a pad under there, but my boyfriend took it out because it wasn't bleeding or anything anymore and he thought it was unnecessary. But you're saying it helps protect the suture too?
By the way, did your cat just have a single suture? Or was it attached in a couple different places? I asked for more than one suture and she said she couldn't do it but I didn't understand the reason. I dont like there's just one string holding it on.
I don’t honestly remember. But I think it was maybe two sutures in a crisscross. I don’t know. I was a little squeamish about that. I cleaned every other day. My biggest problem was that the tube was too short to lay flat in the Kollar. She looked like an inflatable kitty with a tube sticking straight out. It was actually when the tube was able to lie flat that I knew I had to check with the vet about the suture. She redid it once. On the second time I took her in, Krista got feisty and left the vet with the tube in her hand and no longer in the cat.
At that point, I was only using the tube for meds and insurance (better to have it in too long than take it out too soon.) Krista said she was done and we honored that.
