If a dog has to have its sexual organ removed with recommendation from the vet, the wound sustained thereafter should kept clean and free from infections. After the surgery, the private area is bound to feel itchy prompting the dog to lick causing more irritation and the possible contraction of bacterial infections. To lower the possibility of biting or chewing the fresh stitches, Cones for dogs recovering from surgery are adequately used.
The cone shape of the e-collar is used to hinder the dog from reaching its hindquarters whenever it feels like licking and they are normally placed on top of the normal regular dog collar. In accordance with the variety in dog sizes and shapes the collars have been made to accommodate them all, the pet products outlets and the vet stores are stocked with the collars.
The changes are not taken very well by dogs and reactions are varied from dog to dog, with some opting for an endless struggle to free themselves of the collar to others relentlessly standing in an upright position up to a point of maximum exhaustion where they just pass out. As a dog owner some of these occurrences come as a package with the surgery.
It is important to purchase the collar in advance since, even though not all dogs are chewers, in that condition they are quite unpredictable. The cone is not merely a method to avoid licking but also a part and parcel of the healing process of the dog.
As scary as it is the first few days after surgery not to mention the added burden of putting a collar around the neck of the already suffering dog, it is also the only way to a quick recovery from the surgery. In addition to the bladder issues the biting and licking issue should be factored in before taking a visit to the vet and what other simpler way of ensuring this does not happen other than putting on the e-collar.
The collars can be made of plastic, synthetic materials or basically clothing material. The material can have a significant effect on the behavior of the dog, for instance, dogs with plastic e-collars tend to be more aggressive and ever struggling to remove the collar. It is in that case important to determine the collar that will work best for a particular dog.
Since one can not stay with the dog an entire day to make sure that the wounds are cleaned and nursed to avoid any bacterial infection it is important to incorporate the use of collars. The dog could help relieve the pain by licking or chewing but this could also be the door way various bacterial and other hazard infections thus the e-collar plays a very major role of ensuring that the dog Is watched closely regardless of where it is.
Unless otherwise the e-collar could pass for a punishment to the dog but considering the help the collar offers it would be crude to deny that it is a form of caring and appreciation to the dog. The recovery of the dog is more important.
