Question

Kevin Sanada, DVM · Accepted Answer

I would have to see the wound to be sure, but if you are certain that the wound is completely healed, then you can remove the cone. I would recommend watching him closely for two hours after removing the cone to ensure that he doesn't bother the stitches or staples too much. There is always a possibility that he can rip them out and cause further damage. I hope that helps and all is well with your cat.
