The wound sustained after a surgery to remove a sexual organ of dog, as per the vets recommendation, should well nursed and cleaned to keep infections at bay. The stitched area operated during the surgery would be the targeted area for chewing and biting due to the itchiness surrounding it which might cause irritation and bacterial infections. Cones for dogs with fresh wounds from surgery could help in the recovery and healing process.
The e-collars are cone shaped and they are fitted to the normal dog collar, due to the size and shape, the dog is unable to reach its hindquarters in case of the irritation. The collars come in various size depending on the size of dog in question, they are relatively cheap and can be obtained at any pet products outlet including the vets.
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.
Surgery can change a lot in a dog, from a licker to a chewer, thus acquiring the collar early in advance before the dog is discharged can save one quite some troubled of having to deal with situation empty handed. It is considered to part of the healing and recovery 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.
Plastic, synthetic material and cotton are some of the materials that are used to make the e-collars. The significance of the material to the behavior of the dog is very exponential, it has been noted that, dogs bearing plastic collars are prone to be very violent and defensive in nature as opposed to the other materials. Collar material, therefore, is as important as the use of the collar itself.
Its virtually impossible to ensure that the wounds of the dog are clean all day long since dogs are not famous for lazing around in one place, as part of the solution e-collars ensure that the dog does not infect itself by licking, biting or chewing the wound. This is done to ease up the pain as well as clean the wound but it is proven to be a doorway for various bacteria and other infections. To ensure that this is adhered to, e-collars act on behalf of the eyes of the owner all day.
It might seem, at least to the dog, like it is being punished but the use of e-collar is a way of showing care and attention to the well being of the dog. Retaliation will be significant but it is worthwhile.
