when lucy had her period i made her some nappies we used to take them off when she went for a wee, is it the same type of thing for bob keep them on him until he needs to go

Yes leave them on while he's in the house, and take them off when you take him out for an onlead walk

We put boxers on our Rottie when he was recovering from his being removed, he managed to still get at the wound through the leg holes though so ended up having to use two of my t-shirts... one with his tail through the neck hole and the other worn normally, then made some cuts in the fabric and tied them together. He looked quite hilarious and sorry for himself (pink t-shirts can't have helped ) but it did the trick.

Aww pink t shirt, how uncool lol

THe reason I use the jersey boxers is they have tighter legs than cotton, but if your dog is determined enough he'll get at the stiches for sure

thinking the nappie idea might work just used a length of towel
with elastic at either end and a cut for tail , lucy had extra padding since she was having a period but if its to stop bob wondering were his manhood has gone it could be an idea , think i will get machine out tonight , thanks so much for all the advice getting so worried
he's just had a bath and omg i am more wet than him:rotfl:

I'm not convinced about toweling tbh, it might catch his stitched and make him more irritated!

We've got fingers and paws crossed for him He'll be fine, you'll be stressed out your head though hehehhee

OnAndUp

hope he's ok

You might be surprised how good he is mine came home he ate his tea as usual and everything he felt a bit sorry for himself but nothing major.
luckily he's fine in a buster collar so we just left that on for 7 WHOLE days!! Cruel owner :rotfl::rotfl: No seriously I had to - know what he's like and he wouldn't have left the wound alone.

It's a smaller less serious op for dogs than b i t c h e s.

Have you got things like a bone or kong to give him something to do if/when you need to keep him quiet.

No offence meant guys, but there is a reason vets give buster collars out.... coz they will LICK! Just get a buster collar IMHO!

FWIW, my vet doesn't give out buster collars for neutered pets, unless requested..
