Humiliation

Smeagol has been obsessively grooming a spot between her shoulderblades, to the point where the hair's all gone and she's damaging the skin. Any kind of medication is licked off instantly. The cone of shame is not an option, as that would mean keeping her indoors and using an open top litter tray she could get easy access to. That wouldn't be a problem were it not for the dogs, who view an easy access open top cat litter tray as an all you can eat buffet.

So option 2. The smallest baby grow Tesco sells. She's still going to have to be house bound, but at least this way we can put the litter tray somewhere the dogs can't get at it.

Let's just hope it heals up soon.
