Hi, my kitten was spayed yesterday, all went well but i cannot get a neck cone on her to stop her licking area. The one from vet was an immediate no go as too big even when moved to smallest position. Popped out and bought inflatable one in smallest size, it was off within seconds. Then popped out again and bought smallest baby size baby grows, she turned into a hell cat when trying to get her in it so i had to abandon,
i had spent hours trying to get something on and it was upsetting her. She is a feisty (adorable) kitten at the best of times and im not sure i am going to win this one, any suggestions?

If you are able to monitor her well, just let her be. She may lick it for a while but they usually stop quickly. Just something new they need to investigate but it will be forgotten soon enough. Most vets put the sutures inside and glue the outside so there is less risk of having any problems.
