Oh, poor Nebo.


Smokey hated the collar, too.
I took it off him when I could watch him.
He was pretty good about not licking himself, though.

And after like 6 days he was w/out the collar all together.

As a sort of side note: I did worry that Smokey's stitches would get infected but basically, I think if there's no green / nasty stuff oozing out you're OK.

But - you know your dog best so you know if he should stay in the collar or not.
