he figured he can't really reach it. I think I may put one on his butt though if he keeps trying to rub those stitches out. The pain meds he was on from the vet had him bouncing off the walls, but mid evening you could see he was uncomfortable. I was finally able to give him a little pain medicine and some breakfast today. Breakfast definitely helped haha. Now I'll pray it's an uneventful recovery as well. We go back next Thursday for stitch removal. So by next Friday he should be good as new
