How big is wound Az,? does it show signs of closeing,you will also need to get lua used to wearing a collar,!(did not see one in pic)
Other alternative is coat
(jumper/shirt sleeve with holes for paws also good when you need to stop cat from licking of medication or to keep area moist/dry [velcro pad with med on inside],very handy with communial cats)
have camera handy for the
backward walk,with pathetic or load meows,when first fitted.

The wound is about a centimetre across. I don't know if it will close again properly. Also it looks like the nipple itself is gone (ick).
Not sure about a 'coat' as it is getting pretty hot here now.
Oh, I am definitely *not* looking forward to putting this on her. No doubt Maria will help me with it the first time.

Lady,
Your photos are great! Though as Mudhooks pointed out - no tree! 
Thanks for sending them in.

We had to put a collar on Jake once - he got bitten by another cat and then got an abcess that he kept licking. The vet gave us the collar for overnight use and we had to keep an eye on him during the day.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when we put it on him. He looked utterly pathetic - in the true sense of the word. One minute we were laughing at his antics - trying to eat out of his bowl was soooo funny - and the next we were crying at his pitiful miaows.
As for when he tried to go through the catflap!!! 
We gave up with it in the end...he stopped licking at the wound when he thought best.
I hope Lua forgives you!!

Ask you vet about useing honey as a wound closeing balm,while the collers on,reason i say this when with cpl had horrific, worse than you could imagine collar, over leg wound took ove a year before wound finaly closed vet used honey,with i think other antibiotics.
The wound close fairly well,after that,mind you being open does help drain "puss" from poor pussy cat (better puss from puss)
is puss singuler pussy first person,pussy being second or third plural indicative ?dont remember that lesson from school.

Not sure about a 'coat' as it is getting pretty hot here now.P:S white linen is cooling,some cats never do get acustomed to collers.

Well, I do have some white linen so I could make her a little 'top' I suppose. Thing is, I would only have to put the collar on at night or when I go out. I'm actually at home a lot because I also give some of my classes here. So I can keep an eye on her when I'm here.
She seems to go through 'moments' where she licks the wound a lot - otherwise she's either sleeping or, like now, just happily sitting on a chair beside me.
Maria says the wound is very clean, it isn't infected, so she doesn't need antibiotics. And so I'll wait until Maria brings the collar on Tuesday and see how that goes. Wish me luck!

You never know, Lua may just accept the collar! I shall keep my fingers crossed that it works and the wound heals up quickly.

I don't think it's working!
Perhaps ballet lessons?

In fact that was Sunny in the 'collar' - Lua is the one with the evil look on her face.
It seems Mudhooks has been busy!

Oh, pheloxi, really not looking forward to the collar! Perhaps it won't take too long for the wound to heal up once she is stopped from licking it. Bless her, she has become - dare I say it? - *almost* affectionate! She even lets me tickle her tummy now.
Been to the barber yet???
