Thanks everyone! He is doing so well. I'm only giving him the meds once a day. The last time I gave it to him most of it missed, but I didn't want to do another dose just in case. He'll be fine until tomorrow. Maybe I'll give him one before I go to work.

The collar is made out of a strong nylon material. Sorta like a gym bag or backpack would be made from. It is very nice for him. It lays down so he can still squeeze under the bed and it doesn't hinder eating or drinking. But it does stop him from getting to the incision.
I had to request the soft collar. They would have just given me the regular hard plastic one. He didn't fight me the first couple of days to put it on but now he sorta fights against it. But doesn't run away from me, which is good. I just feel bad that next week while I'm at work he'll have to stay in the collar ALL day. I will ask Bruce to give him time out of it if he can. But he works from home and wouldn't be able to watch him as closely (as I'd like him to) while it's off.
Shouldn't it be pretty well healed up here in a couple of days? It looks very good. I did notice a small area where it looked like blood seeped through, but it looks good today. I'm still paranoid of infection.
