Essence Of Cones For Dogs After Surgery

By Annabelle Holman


The wound sustained after a surgery to remove a sexual organ of dog, as per the vets recommendation, should well nursed and cleaned to keep infections at bay. The stitched area operated during the surgery would be the targeted area for chewing and biting due to the itchiness surrounding it which might cause irritation and bacterial infections. Cones for dogs with fresh wounds from surgery could help in the recovery and healing process.

The e-collars are cone shaped and they are fitted to the normal dog collar, due to the size and shape, the dog is unable to reach its hindquarters in case of the irritation. The collars come in various size depending on the size of dog in question, they are relatively cheap and can be obtained at any pet products outlet including the vets.

As expected the dogs are not bound to be happy about the changes, the reactions could vary from one dog to the other, from ensuing a constant struggle to remove the collar to failing to lie down until they literally pass out. This is something that every dog owner has to go through as long as the dog has the collar around its neck.

Surgery can change a lot in a dog, from a licker to a chewer, thus acquiring the collar early in advance before the dog is discharged can save one quite some troubled of having to deal with situation empty handed. It is considered to part of the healing and recovery process of the dog.

The first few days after surgery are very scary to both the pet and the owner and with the e-collar issue? It does not get any worse, but with it being the sure way to quick recovery they both just to bear with it. The urinating process of the dog should be monitored regularly as well as the licking of the wounds which in this case is catered for by the e-collar.

The collars can be made of plastic, synthetic materials or basically clothing material. The material can have a significant effect on the behavior of the dog, for instance, dogs with plastic e-collars tend to be more aggressive and ever struggling to remove the collar. It is in that case important to determine the collar that will work best for a particular dog.

Its virtually impossible to ensure that the wounds of the dog are clean all day long since dogs are not famous for lazing around in one place, as part of the solution e-collars ensure that the dog does not infect itself by licking, biting or chewing the wound. This is done to ease up the pain as well as clean the wound but it is proven to be a doorway for various bacteria and other infections. To ensure that this is adhered to, e-collars act on behalf of the eyes of the owner all day.

It might seem, at least to the dog, like it is being punished but the use of e-collar is a way of showing care and attention to the well being of the dog. Retaliation will be significant but it is worthwhile.
