If you can post more information about the location of the drain or a picture of the drain in Tiny that would be more helpful in advising you. However, it would be best to have a veterinarian take a look at Tiny incase the drain needs to be replaced or bandaged. Please be sure to use an Elizabethan collar (e-collar) to prevent Tiny from being able to chew at the drain. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
