Help!

[ownedbycats]

We got our puppy spayed four days ago. We have another week before we can get the stitches taken out. Sunshine is turning out to have a positive genius for undoing and destroying the elizabethan collar. First, she figured out how to turn the collar around so the tabs are under her chin. THen, she figured out how to squeeze the collar between her front paws so the tabs pop open and she can chew them to shreds. Dad tried to duct tape the collar shut but she tore off the duct t ape and is working on the replacement tape. Does anyone know of a way to keep the colllar chew proof? THe Elizabethan collar is attached to her regular collar, this kept her from just pulling the whole thing off, but isn't helping with anything else. Sunshine has to wear this collar constantly, because the minute it comes off she goes for her stitches even with supervision. And I have 7 more days of not letting her get thsoe stitches left!
