Belly bands, fashion or function? (part 2)

[Tex]

Ok, took me forever to catch up with all the posts on the first thread so heres a new one. Below is a pic of Jax in the belly band I made him. You will see that it kinda matches the couch......but here's the problem: he rubs it off!!!!! I don't know if I didn't make it wide enough or if he's just that smart, but he's figured out that if he rubs his tummy on the rug, it pulls the belly band down JUST far enough for the end of his "little wiener" to stick out. Now, we've tried placing it closer to the middle of his body, putting it on tighter, putting in on looser, nothing stops him!!!!! I think he must have go to escape artist school in his first home or something (we're his third & FINAL keepers). Thoughts, suggestions, prayers, etc............The really weird thing is even though he gets his wee-wee out, he hasn't even tried to go wee-wee on anything!!!!!! We're thinking maybe jsut the pressure of the belly band down there is discouraging. Keep your fingers crossed.:crossfin:

I have no experience with belly bands. Maybe he's so busy with trying to get the band off he forgets to mark. :rotfl: :crossfin:

Sounds like it is not tight enough. I know you are planning on neutering him but I have to emphasize again what a difference it will make. Especially since you say he likes to run away - well I am sure that is a hormonal thing, him smelling a dog in heat and trying to find it.

I found this list of low-cost spay/neuter in Austin: http://www.geocities.com/~austinpetsaliv/newvetlist.html

Additionally maybe our CTDR vet would cut you a deal or payment plan. They are Hiway 620 Animal Hospital.
