    Does Oscar have the cone on during the day ? if not, has he shown any signs of tampering with the wound ? Eight days should be enough to remove the cone if he isnt bothering too much , they do hate them so much . I guess I`ve just been lucky, Sam never wore one and neither did Millie following her recent spay but if you have a dog who messes with the wound , they are invalueable , are the stitches disolving ones ?

    hi kate,
    its only at night we leave the cone on just incase he does decide to chew/lick the wound. It depends sometimes he does try to lick it, but he is getting better its just now and again. Yes the stitches are dissolvable.

    If he is giving it the odd lick , I`d be tempted to leave the cone on at night just for a couple more days , then you can relax :)
