He is definitely a chewer, he loves chewing/biting his skin, which is why I had been cautious.
When he had food allergies he would bite till he formed scabs. Now I've found the right food for him, that has almost disappeared.
The wound really looked healed this morning, and he had seemed fine with it while we were walking about. I almost think its a habit he has.
I guess I have to trust the vet who is looking after him, and hopefully once the soft cone arrives I will have a slightly more comfy dog. I will have to give the wound a long time to heal.
He is an older dog, which I know will slow the healing down, so perhaps we didn't take that into account.
When I was looking to buy a new collar, and measuring him, they all did say to make sure the collar comes past his nose, which would make this current one the correct size? |
