I only use the cone if I can not watch them or if they are really trying to lick. I didn't use a cone at all with Dixie who got spayed about a month ago. I bought on of those surgical onesies and she wore that at night and was watched during the day and never messed with it. I kept her in an exercise pen for 7 days and her vet said she was healing extremely well and was cleared to come out of the pen and more toward normal activity and then at 10 days she was allowed to go back to full on activity. Boys usually heal and are back to normal before girls. Its been 8 days so his incision should be healed by now unless there were some issues. Joey only had 2 stiches and they didn't use stiches with Ollie so after a week they were good. I used lots of chews and puzzle toys.
