You spend, what seems to be, your life savings on a surgery
and your little nibbler starts chewing his (or her)
stitches. After all, it is their duty to keep their skin
soft and smooth even if it means leaving a gaping hole for
mom (or dad) to worry frantically over. It will heal in
"only" 10 days and yet that can be the longest 10 days of
your life.
Allow me to save you the anguish involved in spending
hours losing sleep to entertain and distract... and of
losing gobs of precious sanity creating wraps to mummify
the little wriggling beast. I feel for you. I bought extra
collars.
