I got e-collar from vet. It's plastic with 3 holes for gauze (to tie around the kitten's neck). Vet's assistant gave me an idea to tie a breakaway collar through those holes around the kitten's neck (he could get out of the gauze very easily). but it turns out he breaks the collar with same ease.
I caught him licking his neutered area once. He doesn't have sutures though. should i still make him wear the buster-collar? i can't supervise him 24/7 and i was told by the vet to have the collar on whenever i am not able to supervise him (especially at night when he tends to get super-active). Even though he had the surgery just a couple hours back, he's still hyper-active and running and jumping around the room like normal (off of the furniture, curtains, etc.)
i don't know what to do and how to take care of him during this time. i have an exam coming up and i can barely supervise him this week.
i am paranoid he might get an infection if i don't put e-collar around him. :'(
