I just feel so bad, my beautiful Barney has had surgery today. Last night while attempting to keep our cat indoors I slamed his tail in the door.

Can anyone help me he is trying to pull his stitches out, the vet didn't give my Oh a collar, they said he could still reach his tail. how do I stop him taking his stitches out . Please help I feel so bloody bad.

Try wrapping some bandage around it and maybe put something on the bandage like metho that tastes disgusting.

Dont worry, when Cooper was about 16 weeks old I jammed his foot in the car door, but it gets worse, I had locked the door prior to shutting it and OH had the keys about 20 metres away from the car. Cooper was screaming and I was screaming and we were all screaming LOL No damage though, he continued to run around with Vinnie.

I swear by Bitter apple (anti bite spray) tastes real bitter and yuk works great on dogs/cats/ferrets you can get some from pet stores

If you want an Elizabethan collar and don't have one, then there's a collar of sorts that you can make.

cavNrott invented it so PM her, or First Time Puppy Owner as she has made and used one as well and said it was brilliant.

It's something like a wide length of cardboard wrapped in a hand towel which is then wrapped around the dogs neck and secured with duct tape or similar.

Hope your boy is well soon
