My cat recently broke his leg and while the plaster was on his paw became infected. Consequently the vet has had to amputate his toes but has recreated part of his foot with skin from his back. Now he keeps trying to tear the stitches off his paw and this could undo many months of hard work and surgery. Does anyone please have any ideas how I can stop this happening. p.s. He also seems to be depresseed.
