Alternative to E collar... I have a friend who has a pitty who recently tore his ACL. He had surgery and is doing great....but he's tearing his stiches out. He tore 7 of them out and went back to the vet...the vet put 3 back in and he tore those 3 out. He has an e-collar but he has figured out how to wiggle out of it. So...I am wondering if anyone else has used something different than your traditional cone-like e-collar?? Kong makes this inflatable doughnut. He had one of those first and he shredded it. |
Have they tried the soft e collar? |
Are you sure the E-collar was on tight enough? When Bella needed one for her MPL surgery, she hated it, but she couldn't wiggle out of it (although it was loose enough that we could pull it off and put it on over her head). Maybe Bella isn't the escape artist that your dog is. We also used the inflatable collar. The key to that was to put it on with the inflation tube to the back so she couldn't reach around and chew on it. But she never tried to attack and chew the collar itself. In some respects, she liked the inflatable collar because she could use it as a pillow. The only problem was that she could reach around it and lick her incision (she never tried to pull out stitches). We used the inflatable collar when she was under our direct supervision during the day, and the hard plastic E-collar when she wasn't (mainly at night while we were sleeping). |
His e-collar has snaps and he found out he can unsnap them and get them off...currently duct tape seems to be doing the trick in holding it together. I am not sure how he destroyed the inflatable one. |
Duct tape! |

I guess we got lucky with Sig, 14 years ago, it simply had two strips of self stick Velcro. Place collar on to size stick strips where best fit, no muss no fuss. Easy on, off but impossible for pup |
We used duck tape to keep them fastened. Even tape tabs to regular collar on |
