I am pulling my hair out here trying to keep our cat from licking a wound under his front left leg (in his 'armpit') and wondering if anyone can help please?
He has seen the vet, no stitches needed but we need to apply cream a couple of times a day. Vet gave us a plastic cone collar to stop him licking, that lasted all of 2 mins and he just thrashed it off whenever we put it back on. Vet then gave us an inflatable donut type collar yesterday - he has this off within 10 mins so I spent yesterday following him about putting it back on. In desperation this morning, I tried a baby t-shirt thinking it would cover the wound. He twisted that off in 5 mins...
Any alternative ideas on how to get him to stop licking the wound please? He keeps opening it again every time so it isn't healing. I am at home just now so can thankfully keep an eye on him, but DC1 is due in a week so I am worried he will be left more to his own devices soon and just want to get the poor wee soul sorted- it looks sore!
Thanks!
