<p>Forgot to update but he seemed to have just had a bad day. He's been totally normal since, and he's been wearing the collar for almost a week now. He has also learned how to be mischievous while wearing it. </p>

<p>The stitches just look like a normal cut that has been healing for a couple days. </p>

<p>Have you tried taking the collar off of him to see what he does while you're there to supervise? I know that some dogs will lick at their stitches non-stop, but neither of my dogs ever had to wear a collar. The vet tried to get me to put one on Ellie after her surgery, but I refused to take a collar and opted to get one at the local pet store if needed. Aside from the occasional lick (which I gently corrected), they never bothered their stitches.</p>

<p>Not normal. Mowgli was neuters at the shelter the day before we adopted him, I never gave him antibiotics, pain meds, nor did he wear a cone. I did supervise him and, other than minor licking, he showed no discomfort in spite of having kennel cough ( the coughing combined with having stitches could have been an issue...) Your pup may have some local issue such as swelling, be reacting to the meds, or to the cone. </p>

<p>When one of my corgis had cancer and had to wear a cone for over a month, I bought a soft cone and it really helped him be more comfortable. The pain meds could be too strong also so I would call the Vet and report what you are seeing.</p>

<p>I removed mine after the first day and tried to supervise him as much as I could. He licked the wound a bit from time to time but I would get his attention with a nice treats, or new flavored chew. Lets just say that he pigged out those first few days. :)</p>

<p>Linus HATED the cone of shame, but he had to tolerate it for a full 14 days because he would immediately go for the stitches when it was off. He moped a lot with the cone on. We did take the cone off so he could eat, and we tried a few different ones to find one that made him the least angry. You might want to call the vet if he's not acting more "himself" by tomorrow.</p>

I would bet it is the cone. Corgis are short and it is hard for them to walk without it hitting the ground.

<p>No, this is not normal at all. We had a Sheltie neutered at nearly six (due to medical issues) and naddah was this way, even then. I've had stallions gelded at 7 & 8 that had long histories of breeding. Neutering should be a relatively simple process.</p>
