But she will get used to the cone!
As for riding in the car... Bentley hated his car seat at first but I began to leave it in the house and let him play in it at home and now he is much better with it in the car. Once he did jump out of it while I was driving but he was hooked in by his harness so he didn't get far. He didn't choke himself, he just got mad because he had constrained himself even more by dangling over the edge. After I pulled over, fixed him, and gave him a long lecture, he has NEVER done it again.
Here's some pics of Bentley's carseat and him in the dreadful cone. |
That is a great idea about putting the seat out for her in the house! I will definitely do that.
Beanie's cone is clear plastic and looks much smaller and goes up higher on her head. My landlord just put it back on her and it is staying on her! She can't eat with it on, so I just hand fed her and put water in a spoon so she could drink.
She is absolutely miserable with it on, but I can't have her licking and chewing her poor boo boo paw. God it looks awful.
