Thread: Storvenn and Loki - snipped n chipped.

With my dogs I used a substance from the vet called no-lick that you dab on around the stitches - apparently it tastes awful and stops them licking. It worked a treat with my girls, they only tried once and I never had to use it again. Much better than those awful cones which are a real pain with dogs as when I did try to use one once they kept crashing into things - took it off after half an hour!

Glad things are ok, poor little things, I'm not looking forward to Harry going in which will be in early April, but I know it has to be done. I reckon they are going to be well spoilt over the next week or so, or should I say more spoilt !

It has made me think about the chipping though, I know I don't intend to let him out but there is always that fear that he might get out.

Thank you all for your kind words
I took today off work and spent it with them both. Have taken collar off of Loki for a bit, only when she is supervised, and then put it on later. She has thankfully 'accepted' it and doesnt seem too bothered now. Amazing really and now just two days to go with it on.

I really need to post some photos of Storvenn. He is HUGE in comparison to her.

Pleased that both your babes have recovered well from their ops.I always feel sorry at work when we have brother & sister in as bruv always bounces back quickly & wonders why little sis takes longer & doesn't want to play.Typical us ladies always come off worse.
It is interesting to read about vets who still put surface sutures in,the one I work for does them under the skin in both cat & bitch spays,it took him longer to begin with but now does it just as quick as external sutures & no problems that they can get them out,cats don't seem to bother about the wound at all but ocassionaly a bitch spay has to have a collar because of excessive licking of the wound.

How lovely that you got the duvet out to cuddle up to them when they needed some tlc. Lucius came back after his day at the vets almost as if nothing had happened to him but still took full advantage of the extra attention (and steak) showered upon him! Glad it went well

Winston is also going to the vets on the 29th to get "chipped", "clipped" and "de-pipped"
