They have her on Rimadyl for the pain. However I think this might be what is making her act the way she is. Also they sent her home with one of those cones to wear. Does anyone know how long she should wear it? The nurse at the vet told us 10-15 days. She hates the thing and won't even move when it is on.
Any information or advice anyone can share would be great!! Thank You. |
When I had Lex Neutered the cone had him very depressed. He fought it ever step of the way. So I removed it and he went back to being Lex. I did watch him to be sure he didn't bother the sutures.
I think you have a combo going on there of the cone and the meds. How long are you giving the meds? Lulu and Lex both were given pain meds for 3 days after the surgery and no more.
