Oliver is doing really, really well.
Wounds are healing very nicely with no evidence of infection and other than one accident right next to his litter tray no problems there, so much better than before!
I had been debating putting the collor back on him to go the the vets on Thursday so I didn't have to own up to being naughty and not doing as I was told but he looks so well and has completely ignored his stitches that I am just going to tell the truth!
Just looking forward to his fur growing back as he looks a bit silly with all the missing patches and his bum must be cold in this weather.
