What You Should Know About Dog Cone Collar

By Linda Wallace


There is a large number of people that try to find dog products which includes the specialist collars online and some of these people have more success than other. The main concerns about shopping online is the price of the products and the quality of the item. In a lot of cases people are looking for products including the cone collar. These collars are usually recommended by the veterinary surgeon after surgical procedures such as removing sexual organs. Collars likes these are great for wearing straight after the surgical procedure.

These collars will usually be worn for between ten and fourteen days. The first couple of days that the dog is wearing the dog cone collar they will probably have some pain to contend with and this will take on many forms. The forms of pain will depend on the personality of your dog and will therefore vary from one dog to another.

Some dogs may just want to lie on their beds and will only move when they want something to eat or drink. Other dogs will try to interact in pretty much the same way as they would normally and then dance around the room when they realise that something is missing. Some dogs might also whine a bit especially during the first few days, however this is perfectly normal. One of the toughest things for a dog owner is having to wait whilst the dog recovers.

In a lot of cases stitches will have been used to close the incision which was made during the surgery. It is important to keep a close eye on the stitches and this is especially important if the dog is a licker.

It is normal to lick the wound as this is the natural way of cleaning the area and relieving the pain. Although licking is natural it can lead to irritation of the wound area which can cause bacteria. When the dog is left on his own he will try and take the stitches out, which can be risky and will try attention by the vet immediately.

It is a bad thing if the dog manages to remove the stitches as this will mean that the vet will need to give him more anesthetic which is not something that is recommended. These special collars are a good way to prevent the dogs biting or chewing at the wound. These collars can be attached to the normal dog collar.

These special collars means that the dig is unable to reach its rear quarters which is good for after surgery. These collars will reduce the risk of irritating the affected area.

These special collars are available in a wide range of sizes but they are generally the same and can be purchased from the vet. It may be possible to get a cheaper one online and this will depend on where you purchase your dog supplies. As you can image most of the dogs who need to wear one of these will not be happy about it however the cone collar is certainly worth considering.
