I liked that it protected the incision and kept it clean, as well as preventing her from licking or getting to the sutures. I also liked that the onesie didn't prevent her from doing anything normal, such as eating, drinking, peeing, or pooping. The hole was large enough that she was able to potty without unsnapping or getting anything on the onesie. |
That's kinda like what I did. Bought a size within her weight range... the onesies for skin babies. Cut the hole on the back side of onsie real close to the snaps, but not cutting the band & put it on her backwards, placing the snaps in front of her tail. Cut hole just big enough so she can potty easily. It worked like a charm when Roxy was spayed & she could remain comfortable w/no restrictions. Never saw her fussing about the stitches. It's a great idea.
