So my little boy is getting neutered on Monday, as well as having a couple baby teeth pulled and his microchip.

I was going to get one of the kiss-e collars for him, but my husband took him thurs. for his pre-check up appt. before getting him fixed, and scheduled it while he was there. I had his go to petsmart and petco to try to find something similar, as well as getting some newborn size onsies for him. MY husband came back with two different types of protection for his stitches and I'm wondering if anyone has used either of them before, and how they worked. The first one is an inflatable ring collar called the pro collar premium protection collar and the second is a soft nylon cone called the pro collar soft nylon cone.

I'm wondering which of these would work best. They are both very soft and look like they will work. Not sure if I will be using the onsies much, because he's a constant eater, drinker, pooper and pee'er lol. I was thinking of cutting out the rear end of the onsie and where hs peepee is so he can go potty with the onsie on. Has anyone with a male pup ever used a onsie like this before, and how did they work? I can't believe it, the little 1lb 4oz pup I rescued is now 5.2 lbs !!!!! The vet was so excited for his weight and all over health. The one problem we did find though is he has a luxated patella on his right rear leg, though its not causing limping, it has popped out probably 5 times in the 4.5 months I've had him, and I've massaged it right back, and he's better within a few seconds. The vet said its a very mild grade 1, and that he could very easily grow out of it as he's still a puppy. I hope he does so he never has to have surgery for it.

Anyways I got way off track lol, so has anyone used either one of these types of collars for protection on a male puppy after fixing and how did they work? What about cutting out the holes on the onsies to allow him to potty with it on? Also how long does he need to have the incision protected?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice, it is greatly appreciated :-) Gizmo thanks you all too :-)
