Are you considering a collar? I will send you a couple little ponchos to try if you are.

He's even dug a small hole into his abdomen.
What kind of hole? Plucking or self mutilation? If it is self mutilation then yes its definitely time for a collar I'm afraid:(

They are gorgeous, I hope they help him to recover some and find another activity that doesn’t harm him.

Darn that Taco. Has he been tested for the common physical causes - heavy metal toxicity, parasites, AGY, swollen/damaged liver or kidneys, skin and or feather infections, heart and or respiratory issues? There are so many and they should be tested for.

Taco, just quit it.

All that and more. :( I don't fully understand all of what I'm told but the vet says he's generally healthy and she can't find a physical reason for his self-mutilating or barbering. I even got all his tests re-done at an entirely different clinic just in case, but with the same results and lack of evidence of anything wrong.

I really really wish I knew all of his history, but his old people told me they NEVER took him to the vet in all the years he was with them. It's so frustrating.
