After having Esme spayed today and all going without a hitch, I get her home for her to only start licking and pulling at her stitches! :nono:
(When I went to fetch her earlier the nurse said there was no need for a collar because she was so good and didn't go near them : )
Needless to say I rang the vets who told me to come back, either with Esme in tow or on my own to fetch a collar - after a short brawl with a half bald cat I gave in and went alone :glare: - only to arrive home to find her underneath my very heavy bed smack bang in the middle (which for a short person like me renders her unreachable!)
With it being dark under there I can't really assess the wound but it seems unscathed, however I'm worried the more time she goes without the collar on, the higher risk of infecton
I have already tried coaxing her our with various treats - she's having none of it!
