I had my Yorkie neutered a couple of weeks ago. The cone they gave was too big so we didn't use it. It didn't look like he was messing with the incision site so I didn't worry about it. Well, it ended up getting infected so we got a smaller cone and put it on him while it healed. He sleeps with us at night and the cone was annoying. We took a sock and cut two holes in the toe for his legs and put it on him like underwear. It worked great! At least he had a reprieve from the cone at night. Then the sock went missing, so instead of making another one, I bought a baby Onesie at Walmart for $2 to put on him. That worked okay for awhile, but sometime in the night he managed to work his way out of it through the neck hole! It was a 0-3 month size...He is 5 lbs so I think maybe a preemie size may have worked better. Just some ideas to give your pup a break from the cone. |
