Oh Chris, I'm so sorry about this turn. To me, it looks like it needed a few more stitches to begin with.

For now, he will simply have to wear the cone, and I know that's no fun. Can you get him a tranquiizer to calm him down a bit so he sleeps more? 5 mg. of Valium works for Fister. I have a few times given him that at New Years eve.

I know how it is to have to dpend on others driving for you, I have the same problem. However, I have got hold of a pram my neighbors left, that I can put Fister's box in and walk him over to the vet. Perhaps you could do something similar? Borrow one from your neighbors?

Hope Bob will heal and get better soon!

Here's a picture of it:
