I don't know what to do anymore!!! Maximus has found a way to get to his "wound" even with the damn ecollar.... it is now at the point that I have underwear on him and an ecollar and I am afraid he is going to get infected....any SUGGESTIONS???? |
Get a larged e-collar. I had to do the same thing w/ my Codie. Or try puppy diapers. |
If you could only see my poor baby...I caught him doing it last night at like 9:30...so we got a pair of my boy short underwear I cut the sides, and sewed them to fit his measurements and now he is wearing them also...I will have to post a pic because on the front of them it says playboy bunny or something like that and my bf was making fun of him all morning...lol, BUT my bf is going to buy diapers this morning...I am glad someone else did this also..my vet seemed to think it was IMPOSSIBLE!! |
Tell your vet that I said NOTHING is impossible until you're dead ... and even then I'm sure God negotiates. :D Let me know how Maximus does w/ the doggie diapers. Poor little guy. |
Someone just mentioned a onsie might help him from getting to it. Onsies are probably better for girls but you might want to try it. Good Luck! |
Thanks...he ate threw the side of the onsie the night after surgery...he is determined to give me a heart attack!!! |
He must be itchin' to get down there! Literally. Poor little guy. I don't know what to tell you :(. |

I wish I had some advice, but wanted to wish him a speedy recovery. PS I really want to see the pics of him in his undies... |
This may not be what you would expect, but first see what he is doing to the area when he licks it. If he is only licking it, it will probably help heal it faster. Watch him for a minute or so and see if it is damaging the area. If he is biting or picking at it, then keep trying to cover it. My dog had a small wound on his leg once (the white shepard). Anyway, we did all kinds of things to try and keep him from licking it....not only was it frustrating, we did more damage. Then we were like what the heck, and let him lick it. It healed right up in no time! Like I said, see what he does and if it isn't harmful, ask the vet if it is ok to let him do that. |
Thanks...he actually made himself bleed a little yesterday which is why I was feeaking out..and taought myself to sew...I am just unsure of how long before he should be healed enough not to bother him...because the ecollar is making him itchy around his neck also..I think..he keeps putting his head down and pawing at it, so I take it off and hold him so I know he can't cause any disturbances DOWN there but the minute I put him down without it..he is munching AND LICKING :( |
I've heard good things about this collar.. It's called the Bite Not Collar. You may see if a vet in your area carries them becaues you might not get it in time if you have to order it online. Here's the link: http://www.bitenot.com/ |
Thank you I will go see if anyone near me carries it because I am afraid of infection!! |
Poor you, you must be so worried. Poor little maximus must be so itchy down there. How does the little smarty pants get to his wounds with an ecolar??? I am just imagining in my head that he's double jointed..haha..I'm sorry you're frustrated. I don't think I would have any more suggestions, all of the ones I would think of have been mentioned. I hope his itching stops so he can let it heal. I would freak out if I saw blood, so you're a trooper. |
This whole event has not been good for you! With the vet not answering the phone, giving you the wrong meds, and now this. It will get better though, I promise. :) How long is Maximus suppose to keep the collar on? I have always heard that if a dog licks an injury it will heal faster, even if it is an injury on us. I imagine he just wants to lick it to help it heal, especially if he is itching. Poor baby :cry:. When I had my dalmation neutered, he never did have to where a collar and I let him take care of it. Of coarse, I kept a close eye on it. |
