Noodles has a ruptured abscess on her hind quarters; not far from her anus but not so close as her anal glands or something there. We were at the vet first thing this morning. They cleaned her up and we have meds. I got her a soft cone last night that she's wearing; but she still keeps trying to lick at it. The vet thought a hard cone would hit against it. She's very thin (just under 7lb when she should be about 9 per the vet) so she's just has no problems bending!
I just fussed at her for licking and boy she hissed back at me!
Can you suggest anything to help us through this?
Should I go for a hard cone? She has taken to the soft one surprisingly well. I also bought one of the blow-up donut ones last night but if she can bend to reach with the soft cone I'm not sure the donut one will do anything. She's so thin I don't think a dog cone would work?
Of all the pet things I've had to do; this one is new for me.
This is what she is wearing:
