So Zoe -- who is 2 1/2 just had four stones removed from her bladder on Thursday.
I brought her home from the vet yesterday morning, and she was acting okay. They put an E-collar on her (one of those upside-down lampshade things) because she's a wee bit difficult at the vets (*cough* they need to sedate her to get her nails trimmed), but she was really depressed with it on. Earlier this afternoon I took it off of her (she was a very happy girl) and she gave herself a full bath. However, later tonight, she decided to try to bite at her stitches, so I put the collar back on.
Does anyone have any advice to keep her from biting her stitches without wearing the collar? I was thinking maybe I could tie something around her middle or.. well, I really don't know.
I figured if anyone would know, they'd be at this forum.
