Spay wound concern

Bun was spayed last monday. She was really well after 48 hrs. Eating Drinking, Pooing and wound healing fine! (She was glued and stitched).:D

Took her for check up Thursday and they said she was great and to bring her back for stitches to come up in about a week! :D :D Last night she tried to clean the glue off herself :? :? she hadn't done much damage but looked a little sore. I've just got back from vets .

The vet removed stitches and a bit glob of glue at the base of wound.:roll: They applied some Zinc cream too. She said if she keeps licking it to put collar on her :( I've been back 20min and she is licking :( :(

What do you recomend ? Shall i get the collar straight away or see if she settles?:? :?
 
It's best not to use a collar as they can't eat their caecal poops and it stresses them, but if you have no choice I guess you have no choice - Has she got a bundle of fresh hay to play with?
 
Yes, gave her hay in her favourite tray she likes to sit in. Good idea about the veg i'll prepare it now and give her a bit at a time to keep her occupied.

Thx
