Cat won’t wear cone

[Robyn5678]

Brought my cat to the vet today and she has an infection on her belly from her spay. Last week I tried putting a cone on her and she flipped out! Like running full speed into walls.
Today the dr put her in a little onsie. Well she is Houdini and has gotten out of it 3 times already.
Any suggestions on what worked for your cats? I did order an outfit thingie from chewy that should be tighter than what they put her in today

Maybe one of these will work.

I’m going to try the paper plate one if she ever comes out of hiding

Let us know if it works

I can see how she got out of the thing the Vet put on her since it's completely open at the bottom. You can try a baby onesy (or a pet recovery suit from Amazon). Those work great and I've never heard of a cat escaping from one,

She won’t wear a cone and she got out of a onsie the vet put her in so I bought her a surgical recovery suit. She seems to have forgotten how to walk I hope she gets used to it because she needs to be in it 10 days

I went with the pet recovery suit. She’s been in it a few hours and she being dramatic but I’m hoping she gets used to it

10 days! My goodness baby girl!

10 days! My goodness baby!

I know!! I’m going to check her belly after 5 days or so to see how it’s doing. She had an antibiotic shot so I’m hoping between that, and her not being able to lick it , that it will start healing pretty quickly

I was just wondering about the timing, can you check it sooner just to be sure? Did the vet say 5 days?

Yes I will check it sooner to see how it’s doing.

She's a cutie. Love the first pic with her little back paw in the air like "Motherrrr. I can't--move." Sorry she has to wear it for so long.

Your cat has a severe case of onesie paralysis. It is a mutation of bandage paralysis. Good luck

Hoping it goes away. Tho her not moving will help it heal faster.
