My poor girl looks SO miserable! She has to wear the “lamp shade” for the next 10 days!! Do they get used to them? Or just keep bumping into everything? Ugh, they used staples too….
My dog when I was growing up had to wear one of those, but it was so long ago I don’t remember the details. I hope she gets use to it and it doesn’t give her that much trouble.
Make sure she doesn’t have trouble drinking out of her water bowl. We always have to watch that when our dogs wear those. And to be honest, I don’t think they ever get used to them, just sorta resigned.
They never really get used to them, saddly, but if you live in a large city you might be able to find a soft one. They are flexable, but still stop the dogs from licking and scratching.
Or call your vet and ask if they have bite not collars. Instead of a cone it’s flexible plastic that velcros around a dog’s neck like a whiplash collar and has a strap that goes behind the front legs. Alot of dogs find it more tolerable than the E-collars. Also, raising the water and food bowls help.
ddvm – that looks perfect! I’m gonna call in the morning. She perks right up when I take the e collar off and drabs right back down when I put it back on. If I can’t find the bite not, I’m gonna look for the ProCollar

With an almost 11 year old dog that suffers SEVERELY from allergies for most/all of her life I can tell you they never get around to Liking the collars, but they do get used to them. Mine now enjoys tortureing the other dog by using it as a deflecter dish to keep all the food for herself!! 😈
They do get used to them. My puppy had to wear one for a while after he was fixed and he figured out how to scoop up a ball into his collar to play with it.
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!
I found this blow up donut thingy at Petco….So much more comfey for her! We go Friday am to get her staples removed….She looks so cute! And what you can’t tell from the picture is that she snores with the donut on!!
