I just talked with the vet and Chloe must wear the collar until her stitches are removed on June 1st...or if she leaves them alone. My guess is that she will NOT leave them alone, and I cannot trust her while she is alone....so it seems as though the collar will be her best friend for several days. I have TWO of the same blue collar, so if she rids herself of one....or if it becomes dirty....I have a backup one.....She will be disappointed to know this, I am sure!

She seems a tad happier with the blue collar. Tad.....
