Or pup is going in for 5 lump removals (will be sent for testing as well since last time we did this one was cancerous). They are on her hind legs and front joints. Basically at areas she can reach with her teeth.
Any ingenious tips for preventing her from biting the stitches off? A cone is useless for her because we literally could not get it on her. The vet had it on her last time and she got it off. We did bandages last time and she got them off. A tshirt won't cover all the spots.
Thanks!

Awww so sorry, my pup was the same and had lumps removed too!
She HATED the cone but tolerated a blow up one?!

We do the soft sided cone and it worked wonders for each of our dogs. The top flips back so they can reach the water bowl and can rest comfortably.

our dog had a bandage on her foot and lower leg, so we put a tight fitting sock over it to keep it clean but it also kept her from biting and licking the bandage. She's a dachshund so we used a baby sock which covered most of her leg

we just discovered this inflatable collar and love it. ours has loops on the inside that his regular collar threads through, so there is no way for him to get the inflatable one off.

@snowjewelz: @MrsYellowJacket: thanks for the soft cone idea. I brought it up the vet so she tried that in lieu of the hard cone post surgery. She's still pretty groggy right now so the she's not bothered by it. Hopefully she keeps it on tomorrow when we're at work. But at least she can lay down and be comfortable with it on.
Poor thing is pretty miserable. Hoping the pain meds kick in soon. She had 5 mass removals and a tooth in the back that was dead that they extracted. Both the vet and us were surprised by that because her teeth looks good overall. One of her stitches is almost 4" long.
