I am at my wit's end here.

I can't keep Kyubey from chewing his sutures. He's wearing a soft E-collar, but he's figured out how to pull it so he can reach his sutures. He can wear a hard E-collar, but I don't want to leave him unable to get water while I'm at work this week.

I tried a no-sting bitter agent, and he licked it right up. I tried a tiny dog shirt, but it rubbed the sutures and he got it off. I tried an inflatable E-collar but he can get it off. Tried the next size down and he can still reach the sutures. I bought some calming treats which do seem to take the edge off, and he's on pain meds even though he doesn't seem to be in any pain.

Any ideas? Right now he's supervised round the clock, but that's just not going to be doable for the next two weeks.
