If nothing else works, you will have to use the rubber or plastic e-collar.

Yeah, you don't want that incision getting wet. I put Cookie in alternating onesie bathing suits; wear one, wash the other, and rotate.

The onesie was the only way I was keeper her from the wound and stitches without driving her nuts. I know she would have tried to destroy a cone all day had I tried it.

For those seven days he was well equipped for swimming or a cruise.
