Your very welcome and good luck i hope everything turns out for your fur baby please keep us updated on how she is doing thank you.
The main thing is to be consistent with the wearing of the E-collar. In a very short period of time of taking it off, for your sanity or your cat's sanity, a lot of damage can be done to the surgery site. Also there are different type cones/collars you can buy at your local pet store retailer, which might be more comfortable than the plastic cone of shame. Best of luck to you and your cat and I hope that incision heals up nicely!
Unfortunately cats are harder to get to wear the cone than dogs would be when i took my male in to get neutered he had to wear the cone of shame because he is a licker there really is no easy way to get them use to the collar you just have to put it on them and let them flip out a bit about it but after a little bit of time they do get use to it it makes you feel bad for them but its the best thing for them they do get use to it and get to where they will be able to eat and drink and use the litterbox this is my sebastian the day after he got neutered he was not a happy kitty but he got use to the cone and even became playful/loveable while wearing it. He was still heavily medicated during this time i walked in my bedroom to find him laying like this but of course after i stopped laughing i moved him so he wouldnt get a sore neck lol. Good luck i hope the vet says her wound is not to badly infected keep us posted please
My Speckerton had to wear one for 3 weeks solid after her Pyometria surgery.
I love that picture! So cute. And your message makes me feel better, I'm looking forward to her getting more comfortable wearing the cone. We've got an appointment today at 3 pm, so I'll update the thread when we hear back.
I am glad that the messages help i think that talking things over with people help a tremendous amount i am so glad that this site exists it has been so helpful to me and other people i just love meeting new people and meeting people that share the same passion for pets as i do lets me know i am not the only crazy lady out there for some of the stuff that i do with my pets LOL like i see people on here that dress their cats in cute outfits and i have done that a couple of times so its a good feeling when you know other people do it to lol. I hope she is doing well with her e-collar i know they hate it but you shouldn't need it on her to long if she is already 9 days in i hope her boo boo is doing good today. That is awesome that her wound isnt to bad it will heal up in no time with the ointment. She is so pretty i love her colors she is a cutie patooty for sure.
