Tiger, back to his holey tshirts!

Poor Tiger…I saw him scratching the plastic e-collar many times today. His ear is itchy and he needs to scratch it. So I had to take off the e-collar to let him scratch his ear. But then, the moment he finishes, he goes for his flank to “attack” the skin lesions, so I had to quickly put the e-collar back on.

I can totally understand how terrible it is, to have an itch and be unable to scratch it. And worse, Tiger is not able to tell us too.

So, I figured one way to give him time-off from the e-collar is to revert to his holey tshirts!

Luckily, my mum had made a few of them rather long – this is really good now, because it was cover his flank.

Well, the tshirt is not as effective as the e-collar and Tiger has to be monitored because he can still stick his snout under the tshirt and lick the lesions. But it gives him some time-off (under supervision) from being on the e-collar.

At least he can groom himself in the other parts, especially the face.
