I'm sorry, I know this has been discussed almost every time a board members bitch has been spayed but I daren't search through the topics as I feel so bad!
I put the cone on when we got home and all she did was sit there with her head hung! I couldn't bare it and couldn't imagine how on earth she could get a drink or food if she wanted it! So tried a tshirt on her and other than her legs coming out the arm holes and the fact it barely covers her stitches it was fine! But I daren't leave her in a tshirt over night which might ride up to uncover her stitches! So I've put the collar back on and she's sat head hung again and whimpering again!
She's being so brave and I've moved her bed next to the sofa where I'm sat so I can stroke her as she sleeps but I'm in tears looking at her! I can't stand this!
Should I be strong and leave the cone on? I don't want to shut her in her cage tonight with the cone on as unless she doesn't move all night it's going to drive her insane! The cage is just right for her to get comfy in and turn around but with a cone on she's going to struggle.
So had already planned on moving her bed into the kitchen and keeping the door shut so she can't get to the stairs or the sofa to jump on.
She's being really brave and has had some cooked ham and chicken (trying not to spoil her honest!) she's even looked at her food but turned her nose up at it!
She's just stood on her back legs trying to scratch the cone off! She really isn't happy! Any advice please?
