My pet rat opal has a deep laceration where his leg and groin meets, the muscle bid visible and he will not stop picking at it despite us putting a cone on him and trying a good ol' fashioned sock, he somehow shimmies out of it. Vet just cleaned it and sent him home with no stitches. I asked why and she said because it's in a place where there is lots of movement? I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to stop him from licking/ picking at it excessively.
