I need an inventive idea for hurt kitten...

Hi everyone,
You may have seen the picture of the kitten in the post "please pray for the stray". If not, I have a kitten who was attacked by a dog, the vet stitched her up and put a drainage tube in. Wednesday, the drainage tube was removed and everything looked good.
This morning I noticed that she had been pulling and chewing on her wounds causing some of the stitches to come out. She created more lacerations and it looks really bad. I took her to the vet, they said for me to keep it covered with a baby diaper or a baby onesie. Problem is the diaper is causing the skin to rip and she gets out of the onesie.
I tried using one of my husbands socks as a sweeter by cutting a place for her head and legs, and she got out of it.
They told me not to rap it because it needs to breath and heal from the inside out. She's making it worse because she wont leave it alone, causing the damaged dying tissue to tear into the healthy tissue. She goes back to the vet Monday morning, but until then, what the vet told me to do is not working.
I'm so lost as to what to do......or use......I just dont know what to do.....I'd post a pic so you could see what it's doing, but I'm afraid I'll sick people out.
HELP

Sure thing... I took these pictures of her tonight.
All the dark gray fur on her back is growing over the new skin. The wound was huge and all open. As it healed from the inside out, it drew up causing the ripples.
For the most part, I think it healed wonderfully. She'll have the gray hair marking the spot for life, but I don't think anyone will mind, considering what she went through and how she got it. It makes her special... Don't ya think?
My husbands afraid no one will want to adopt her because of it. But I'm confidant someone is going to fall in love with her.

I think she is gorgeous!! You did a wonderful job saving her life, and I agree with you, someone will love her for her "difference".
