| Spay & Soft E Cone Collar Hi Everyone, Rio was spayed yesterday and had 4 baby teeth pulled. She's doing fine this morning and doesn't seem to be in too much pain. Her vet didn't give any instructions regarding cleaning her incision area - am I just supposed to leave it alone? I've read online some suggestions that you are supposed to clean the area with betadine. Also have any of you used the Sofe E Cone Collar (from Mom To Hot Rod - thanks again!)? I got one for Rio and it's wonderful. It's soft and comfy for her, yet does a great job of preventing Rio from licking her tummy! I'll attach some pics: |

| She is so cute. I am glad that her surgery went well. As for cleaning the incision, I would check with your vet. |

| Looks like Rio is doing well. I ordered a Softee collar for Niko. I'm hoping the small will fit a 3 pounder. How much does Rio weigh?

| Rio is 2.6-2.8 lbs. (depending on what scale she is one!). We got the small soft collar and it fits fine. She hasn't been able to get past it to lick her tummy yet, but then again this is only the first day. She's walking around a bit more this morning - yay! |

| Rio is a dollbaby! I'm glad she's doing well after her spaying. I too have a couple of softee collars, they are so much better than that goofy hard plastice one the vet charges you for!

| You don't need to do anything to the incision unless the vet tells you otherwise.

My little girl has 22 staples in her stomach right now and the cone has been a godsend, I literally tell everyone I meet about this cone, I want to make a commercial for them or something My girl has not gotten to her stomach at all and has been able to play lots and sleep peacefully while wearing this! | |
