Tracey, I'm glad to hear everything went well for Cirrus. Both of you will continue to be in my thoughs and prayers.

P.S. When Smokey had his surgery he too managed to get out of hte e-collar. My vet let me use a different kind of collar. I do not know the name of it but what it was a very think collar (kind of like what a person would wear if they were in a auto accident) and then the collar was attached to what looked like a walking harness that went over his shoulders and then under the belly. Well, Smokey never managed to get out of this and was not able to get to his stitches. ---Meg
