A 5 month whippet puppy flew with his parents earlier this week from Alberta to the vet school at the University of Guelph to have surgery for a severe case of pulmonic valve stenosis. The surgery was yesterday - amazingly, to me at least, it is performed through the artery in the neck.
The pup was discharged today with a bandage around his neck that is meant to stay for 10 days. Unfortunately, the pup has other ideas.
I was thinking maybe baby socks on his paws (attached with vet wrap, not too tight) and then bitter apple on the socks.
There is so much experience here, I am sure there are other and better ideas, and I'd like to pass them on to the pup's parents.
Thank you for your help.
