German had a lump removed from his elbow - because of where it was, they couldn't easily remove it all. So he has an ugly set of stitches where they pulled skin together - and to make sure it stayed together, the vet wanted a shirt on him (to keep from accidentally scratching at it) and a cone-of-shame (to keep him from eating at it). Needless to say, he hasn't been happy since yesterday afternoon, but at least he's sleeping.
