Gosh, my Ceci didn't have to wear a collar or anything else. She was pretty dopey the first day and didn't seem to even feel the new incision... Didn't even bother to lick it. I think I'd mostly watch and see if Piper was licking or messing with it and go from there.....? Peggy probably has better advice.

WHat is the best way to care for a Chi after being fixed. They said to keep the E-collar on her for 7-10 days, and take if off periodically for her to eat and or sleep. However, I dont think I can see her wearing that for 7-10 days. Would it be best if I put T-shirts on her to keep her from pawing and scratching at her stitches instead. She's just so miserable with this E-collar on. JD
