Anybody ever use this?

[leigti]

Hello, my dog is having to wear one of those plastic cones on her head. My friend gave me this to try. Has anybody used it and if so how did it work? Should I stick with the plastic cone or this?

I have one and have used it several times. I love it and my dog likes it a lot better then the nasty cones. Use this one.

Oh, I would put the part where it attaches to the back and try to keep it there, just move it around when or if it falls to the front. With it in the front, they can reach a few spots that they can't reach when it's in the back.

Thanks. Do you think it would be secure enough for when I'm not home? For maybe for five hours at a time? I might use the plastic one when I'm not home and this one when I am. I can't keep a close enough ion her. The wind is on her back leg and groin area. She does look slightly less miserable then with the cone

It's hard to say, I don't know your dog. If she is one to be very persistant on getting to it, then maybe. I have a Bull Terrier and they are very persistant, obnoxious and determined bull headed dogs and I never had a problem with it. But if you feel the better with the cone, then like you said, use that when your gone and the other when your home.

She's not one to really fight things. I think I'll see how she does this evening when I'm busy and not really watching her.

Poor puppy. They always look so sad with those cones. Hope she has a speedy recovery.

I am trying but it keeps spinning around. I tightened her collar a little more so maybe that will help.

Thanks. Between Aspen getting hurt and my cat Mini dying it has been a really crummy week. Aspen seems to be doing better, the dog sitter accidentally left the cone off of her yesterday when she came to give her medication. Giving meds three times a day doesn't work so great when you work all day too. so of course Aspen looked in the area all over again but at least didn't tear it open. I just sprayed more medication on it and hoped it helped. She goes back to the vet tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about Mini. It is so hard to lose pets. Hope it gets better for you.

These are much healthier to use for your legs then the plastic ones

Yep, my Paddy had one when he stood in his ceramic dish and stood on it - ouch! Poor thing. He was only a puppy!

Lesson learned: no more breakable dishes. Or anything. He's a Border Terrier; he shouldn't need coddling. Alas, I am his owner, and coddle him I do.

Sorry, that should say, "stood in his ceramic dish and broke it."
