So my cat Phoebe had surgery on Tuesday and came home that day. She's been wearing the Elizabethian (sp?) Collar ever since and I don't take it off unless she is eating. Well today I fed her, and let her have some time to eat. I was right in the next room. Then I look and don't see her by her food, but licking at her wound. So I darted and and told her NO!. Then I put the collar right back on. I lifted her and on her stomach I can see she ripped the entire stitch out. She has maybe 5 or 6 total. She is scheduled to get them out Tuesday. Is this okay? I give her a prescribed antibiotic twice daily. Nothing looks infected. I always worry about these types of things.
