I took Lilo to vet this morning to look at her stitches So I went in the morning to have the vet look at her incision. Yesterday it was red and swollen, and today it looked pink and little swollen, but I didn't want to take any chances of getting infection. The vet looked at it and said that it is a little irritated from her licking on it but there is no infection ( thank God). He just put E-collar on her and send her home. I'm still home with her until 3 pm and than my roomate is comming home around 5 pm ,so she will be home alone only for 2 hours (wearing her E-collar). Big Thank You to all of you for good advices. It is ALWAYS better safe than sorry! oh, BTW they didn't charge me for the apointment, I just had to pay for the E-collar ( around $18:eek: ) |
Yuck, those e-collars seem so cumbersome. My toy poodle years ago had to wear one because of an eye injury and I just felt so sorry for him. Personally, Tatum (my Yorkie) did not need the collar because she had wire stitches which discouraged the licking issue (I thought they worked great) but I've read many times on this board where others just put a little baby onesie on the dog so they couldn't get to the stitches. You might try that if you don't want to use the e-collar. |
have you tried human baby onsies? That's what we used and it worked perfect! Zoe freezes with those plastic collars and yes, they are rediclously expensive! |
the baby onsies will not work , since I'm not home. I know that it will work only when I'm around her, so I can unbutton it every time she needs to go pee. The collar is the ony thing that will help her from hurting herself while she's home alone. I know it'll be very uncomfertable for her, but it's only for 3 more days. It's better than getting infection, for sure. |
