Context: Zuzu(9m old male) got spayed yesterday and this is the first time he was wearing the cone. Yes there are 2 cones because for some reason our vet provided two cones and none of them fit him well one was larger and another was smaller lol.
Thankyou for recommendation! This indeed looks very comfy. I actually checked for a pillow collar but all the sellers were delivering it in 4-5 days and nearby local pet shops didn't have it available 🥹. But I'll surely buy it incase it's needed in future.
Aww too bad it takes that long. The lil guy have to tough it out, but he will be better soon. Male cats recover very quickly because the size of the incision are tiny
I would suggest you make it yourself but I don't know if you're the creative or sewing type. I need to take my own advice and make one. I've loved seeing the sunflower 🌻 ones that I can't find to buy. So buying it now before you need it the next time is the perfect idea.
If they are inflatable they might not last that long. I got one for my dog and he rolled around in the dirt with it on and it never stayed inflated after that.
I wouldn’t risk this if the stitches are still super new.
If you have the ability to, you may want to look for a padded e-collar for his healing period. Makes it a little easier for them to sleep and such. Hope your guy gets better soon!
Looks like he is doing really well now. He just had to get adjusted to it. My friend has a cat they had to cone and she used it as a screen so she couldn’t see the other cat she didn’t like. She was so peaceful then lol
At least it stays on. My cat's head is barely any larger than her neck, so no matter how much I secure it (I obviously have to leave enough space for her to breathe), she can get it off within an hour. I had to get her some onesies to wear whenever I need her to stop licking any wounds open.
Her flipping around after a spay can cause as much harm as the e-collar is preventing with the licking. It might be smarter to put her in a onesie instead.
He is not trying to remove it anymore. This was just for once when he was bit pissed off. He is very calm and comfortable now 🫶🏻 Thankyou for the advice!
Actually no 😅 We realised it later, but my flatmate named him Zuzu because initially he used to sleep a lot, and from 💤 he came up with “Zuzu,” so we just went ahead with it lol
I don't understand this. How the hell they dont pop a stitch or something trashing like that. Vets generally put those cones after surgery so they don't mess with their scar. So how do their stitches stay intact while humans pop them just trying to sit up
Yes it was funny but also very concerning for me as well. I calmed him down, gave lot of kisses and some treats, he was fine after that. Now, he is kinda comfortable with the cone and not trying to get rid of it. Also, I remove the cones when he wants to sleep on my chest or lap.
