My dog has had a fair amount of surgeries/procedures in her life too, and she hates the cone with all her might. She doesn't cry; she just gives you this super depressed look that make you feel so bad :meh: </p> <p>Usually, if we're home at night and just watching TV, we'll take the cone off and just make sure she's not doing what she shouldn't, and just put cone on her at night &amp; when we're out. </p> <p>Also, instead of using the hard plastic cone from the vet, I bought a nice pink one from Petsmart that's a little softer and has like a lined edge so it won't hurt her neck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pup-after-sugery#post-1894625 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 08:16:15 +0000 mrsjyw 1894625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :( Hope she gets well soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pup-after-sugery#post-1894618 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 08:13:31 +0000 PastaAndPotato 1894618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a pit mix about the same size, and equally spoiled (she's pretty convinced she's yorkie size). she had ACL surgery earlier this year, and we ran into the same problem - she wanted to be held all the time, hated the cone, etc.</p> <p>we sectioned off a part of our living room, and i put her bed right next to the couch so i could lay with my hand on her without actually being on the floor with her.</p> <p>we also had a soft-sided cone that could either be pushed forward or back and she could lay down comfortably with it. not to say that she was a big fan of it, but she didn't hate it nearly as much as the hard cone. what was nice was that if it was pushed back (like a cape almost) she still couldn't reach her incision. it looked like this on her:</p> <p><a href="http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=10073&#038;source=GA-PLA13010073" rel="nofollow">http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=10073&#038;source=GA-PLA13010073</a></p> <p>good luck, and hope she's feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pup-after-sugery#post-1894570 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 07:38:27 +0000 LBee 1894570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor puppy - no advice, but just wanted to say how adorable she is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pup-after-sugery#post-1894516 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 06:15:37 +0000 FaithFertility 1894516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here she is :))))) </p> [attach=3878/14/nd6cm2.600x600.IMG_20140730_131227.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pup-after-sugery#post-1894513 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 06:13:40 +0000 FaithFertility 1894513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pup Bella 80lb american bull dog, had surgery yesterday to remove a cancer mass from her side, Doc said all looking good!</p> <p>Well Bella is a spoiled pup, sleeps on our bed and such. ...</p> <p>Last time she had this surgery, she cried and cried because of the cone.....<br /> Yesterday DH talked to vet and they help make her a body shirt/wrap......well she hated that too.....cried and cried... only way she stops is if you take it off and lay on the floor with her, I'm 8 months PG sooo DH had that honor.....<br /> Any tips? ?????<br /> Hoping as she heals she feels better! </p>
