The vet told me she doesn't need to return to remove stitches, because they used skin glue. I'm told to keep the "huge" collar for 10 days, but she can't eat with it, so I'm taking it off for her meals but putting it right back on. I feel bad because I'm keeping her separate from her buddies, Mojo and Dusky, and she is mostly locked up in a room. The thing that's worrying me is that whenever I go to see her she stretches a LOT. Doesn't that hurt her??? Also the pain medication they gave me to give to her..well, that's another problem. I'm not sure any of it is getting into her system. It's the liquid stuff, but she just spits it out. I'm worried she is in pain, but I can't tell. I'm keeping my other 2 cats away from her until she heals.
