Zach just got neutered on Saturday and he looked like your fur baby the first day. I didn't put a cone on him. I just watched him closley and when he started licking the incision I said no and pulled his head away from it. After a few times he stopped. I keep checking the incision to make sure that everything is okay. He will get back to normal soon enough. Some dogs take a little longer. Zach was good the next day. As a matter of fact, everything the vet told me to do, Zach did the opposite. Just make sure there is no swelling or nothing oozing from the site. I would leave the cone off him and just keep checking him. This will make him much happier |
