    Can’t keep e collar on

    She did say at worse it will be just more surface area to heal. Because the antibiotic lasts for two weeks. I will try to get the max drugs today.

    Can’t keep e collar on

    That’s ok 🙌 I understand you were only concerned for the animal. He will be fine, and if there is a problem I have the money to get him whatever care he needs. Thanks!

    Can’t keep e collar on

    He expressed concern that he didn’t cut as far around it as he normally does because the ear was in the way But that it should be ok. The needle biopsy showed it was a mast cell and I guess this will tell if it’s malignant or not. He’s a Russian blue like yours. I am hoping this goes ok and he...

    Can’t keep e collar on

    That helped going up in size. He now has room his whole face isn’t cramped by the tiny cone. But he will be able to kick it off so I’ll try and tie it around on the bottom as well as on the top to the harness.

    Can’t keep e collar on

    The thing is I have it on now and tied to the harness. But I can only fit one finger in and it’s a bit snug. But I am at the last rung. Maybe I should try the next size cone I bought one in the next size just in case.

    Can’t keep e collar on

    He had a tumor behind the esr the surgery was for a mast cell tumor behind the ear. He rips off the cone. I then tried it with a body harness, tying the cone to the harness. That helps but it pulls at the harness a bit and seems to drive him nuts. He even got out of that so now I tied the...

    Can’t keep e collar on

    I can fit one to two fingers but not sure how tight the harness has to be. I’m upset with the vet because I wanted to get some ace Friday to add to the gabapentin. I want to just heavily sedate him so he can’t get up.

    Can’t keep e collar on

    I’m done. Can’t keep collar on cat even if I tie it to the harness. I glued on rubber nail covers but it won’t help. The doctor said if he rips out the sutures worse thing that will happen is there will be more area to heal but I doubt it. Cats are truly a nightmare when it comes to medical...

    Can’t keep e collar on

    Cat had a mast cell tumor removed today below ear. Doc gave me a crappy e collar and it won’t stay on. If too loose he pulls it over his face if too tight he kicks it untill the snaps give and it comes off. I think he’s already opened the incision slightly by fighting the collar. At My wits...

    Do Not Get A Cat!!

    My cat destroyed my blinds, carpets and furniture. And he is now meowing incessantly and I have to leave my house. I know I will take him to the vet for a checkup and I will spend more time with him and it will not make any difference because it is always the same. I curse these people who...
