Hey everyone. Dexter got neutered today, we went and picked him up around 4. He seems to be doing fine, aside from being hungry since he hasn't eaten since 10 last night...lol. He has already peed and pooped and is wandering around.
I need some advice on how to stop him from licking at his incision. He has a cone, but refuses to wear it. He slings his head around and I'm scared he will choke himself because he managed to get a front paw under the string holding it. So the cone came off. He constantly wants to lick the area. The vet also said to try and keep him "calm" for the next several days. We will see....
Side note: The vet has his age listed as 11 weeks?? I feel that that is simply not right. For starters, he is already 6 lbs. He also lost his canine teeth about a month ago and chews because of teething. Any input on that would be great too.
