Rupert has a broken leg and had it repaired with a rod. He chewed at a suture and it came out, though the wound didn't open, thankfully. I called my vet and the suggested an e collar. I put it on him and..I don't think it's gonna work for us. He keeps throwing his head around and I'm afraid he's gonna hurt himself thrashing like this. I made sure it wasn't too tight. He's struggling to eat and he just all around hates it. He actually slipped it off as I was writing this. Are there any other options I could mention to my vet? Poor baby is already confined to a small cage, I feel like the cone is too much.
