Well he has been rather grumpy and a little snappy when putting the cone back on but I think today he's on he mend so relief all round. Thanks for all your comments and help everyone  :003:

I was just wondering this morning how he was doing. Henry didn't seem to notice his cone much but it drove me mad, especially when I took him for a walk. He'd get his nose to the ground and scrape the cone along the ground. Like nails on a blackboard! We found a bit of extra training and gentle tug games along the floor helped keep the boredom at bay. The vet insisted I keep him on the lead in the garden because he just kept leaping about. We were sick of the sight of each other at the end of ten days!

I have video of Henry being let loose in the garden for the first time afterwards - zoomies to the max!

Hugs to Smudge and you.
Rachael (me) and Henry (him)

Thanks LG here he is feeling sorry for himself, if I'm with him I take the cone off and watch him but he hates it going back on. Only 7 more days to go  :D Hope you are both ok x

Aw, bless him! I bet he enjoys the cone coming off. Henry sends wiggly waggles in sympathy.

Dexter was done a month ago and he is now fully over it. I hope Smudge has a quick recovery also, it is best for them if you are not going to breed or show. Life is a lot less complicated for them.
