 Does anyone know how long the cone must be worn?  The stitches don't come out until a week from this Thursday.  I really hate it more than Max.
 
 Thanks for the plastic bag idea.   I also tried the plastic Glad wrap.  They are easier, but just holding to pull the tape or unwind the wrap sometimes makes him yelp.  Guess it's good I didn't become a nurse.

Honestly, I doubt it hurts him (it shouldn't)...he is probably just super sensitive and worried it might.
