Nothing stops this boy, even though he has bad hips and knees. He'll throw himself down the stairs nad hope that a foot or two hits the steps to help propel him down.
Anyway, he sliced his main pad open. I just got back from teh vet and we can't suture it, due to the nature of the pad. Apparently, sutures tend not to stay put there. So he's all wrapped up and miserable. He desperately wants to rip off the wrapping. He sits on the floor and whines. When he starts to try to rip it off I tell him not to and he'll stop.
Any ideas, short of an E-collar, to keep him away. The vet suggested vaseline and cayenne pepper or apple bitter . Anyone tried this?
He's so unhappy that he can't fly.[
