I had my beautiful Bengal spayed Thursday morning. It is now Friday night. We picked her up this morning from our vet, a wonderful caring person.
PROBLEM: She began licking and then chewing the stitches. She tore 3 out in the middle of the third outside set of stitches. Nothing we put on her detours her from chewing at them. I had to rush her back to the vet, and they used that brown gauzy sticky wrap to wrap around her body with a gauze pad under it to keep her away from them.
PROBLEM 2: The stiky bandage is rolling up from in front of her hind legs from walking and she is licking at the bandage.
QUESTION: Has anyone else had this problem?
QUESTION 2: What am I going to do? I cannot be here every minute this weekend, we work, to watch her.
Has anyone experienced this? How can I put the bandage on so that it does not roll up or she cannot lick it until it rolls up?
I am SO SCARED. She is a show cat and not cheap. I am so afraid she will tear herself open or infect the incision.
Thank you
