This community helped me so much when "Dr. Gonzo" decided to swallow some rubber and needed surgery so I'm coming to you again for some advice. By the way, Dr. Gonzo is doing well but still has a craving for rubber so no flip flops are allowed in the house.
My question is about our other cat...
I'm a special education teacher by training, although now retired. I worked with emotionally impaired students and I am very familiar with pica. I had students who ate crayons, glue and chalk. I even mentioned it to our vet. She actually agreed with me. So I'm constantly picking things up that...
OMG! Can you believe I just caught Gonzo chewing on a flip-flop? Can I put a muzzle on him? This kitty is going through his nine lives fast...
He's ok, though, got to it on time so he did not pick any pieces off.
Forgive me for boring you with Gonzo's updates. He is healing well, the bruising has subsided and his starting to eat better. Not sure how he achieved this pose.
Thanks for the idea. I actually googled it and found some instructions and made one but it seemed to make him restless so back to the cone. Well, the cone kept mysteriously coming off ;-) but Gonzo was not showing any signs of licking, biting or scratching his scar so we let him go without it...
