I got my 7 month old kitten neutered today and we were provided with a cone to prevent him from interfering with the sutures. The cone came off immediately when we got home and then we got a collar to put in the cone instead of the ribbon. This worked better but he still managed to remove it. We've kept him in his carrier all day to to avoid him running around and he still takes the cone off in there, also the position he lays in makes the collar tight around his neck (and if it's any looser he will just take it right off). We even tried cutting a shirt with holes in it for his arms and legs, but he took that off too. So far I haven't seen him licking the surgical site, but I'm afraid when I'm sleeping he will and it will get infected. Please help me I don't know what else to do, I already called the vet before and the best advice they could offer me was the collar thing. Is it really necessary to have the cone on?
Also I can't go out and buy anything because it's late here and I will sleep soon, well at least until I figure out what to do.
