Neutered

So Zim was neutered yesterday. We dropped him off at 7 AM, expecting to get him back around 4 but then they called and said he should be ready around noon so we went and grabbed him. He was REALLY ready to go home, which probably had a lot to do with the fact that his mouth felt funny and they were keeping him in *gasp* a cage. He really hated that last part---you could hear him protesting in the waiting room.

Anyway, so we took him home and at first he passed out, like this:

Then he woke up and started licking his incision site, so we put him in this:

Unfortunately, it turns out that Zim is too flexible for a Kong Cloud, the little brat. As soon as he got over his horror at having it on and stopped trying to slip it, he just reached right around and started licking the incision site. So then we went out and bought him this:

To which his reaction was this:

As you can see, he did eventually get over it. He still doesn't particularly care for it, but he's accepted it, at least. Unfortunately, though, not being able to lick his incision site also means not being able to clean up after he goes to the bathroom, which upsets him greatly. He keeps stopping to try and clean up and obviously gets very frustrated when it doesn't work. We have to carry him home so we can clean him up. He does, at least, seem to get over it once we do it for him.
