Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| What kind of cone do you have? Is it the plastic one that ties around the bottom or what? If I know what kind maybe, I can help with a solution.
I feel your pain. I had a similar problem like this with Nikolai, he was able to get his head around the cone to lick the stitches, so I had to cut and tape two cones together to make it extra long so he couldn't reach anymore. |

| Maybe you could tie a towel around his neck instead? I did that for Juneau. I used a thin bath towel. She wasn't able to reach around and lick her stitches. |

| Lol, I had this same problem with Lycus when he was neutered. The vet just ended up giving him an extra long cone.
I think you should try the towel method that Jackie suggested. It could help, I know people who have had success with it as well. |

| Firstly, if your cone uses a collar to hold on, adjust the collar tiny bits tighter till you see it not coming off, in addition that is where you should have the collar set for normal use (Able to snuggly fit two fingers flat between your dogs neck and the collar)
Secondly the vet suggested this to me when I took her in to get spayed.... If you have any toddler onesies... like 2T 3T sized, you can put those on (if it is in the general area obviously I just don't know where your dogs stitches are though) But they are convenient because they snap to stay on...
Anyhow, if none of this helps, or if for my first suggestion your cone doesn't stay on with a collar, I suggest you obtain one that does, it is a lot safer and easier to keep them on. |

| The cone we got is the one with snaps, i called them and it is the only kind they have. he is doing better now, but he is still not happy with it. i feel so bad for my baby boy. he sits and lays by the door all day, wanting to play outside. :C |

| Awww, poor cone head. Lexi is my worst conehead. She will literally walk into everything and hit the cone. Luckily it will be over soon and he will be back to playing again. |

| Yep, thats the same thing Turbo does. he is not doing it as much anymore, and i know how happy he is going to be when it comes off and he can play outside again. he just lays by the door giving you this "look" trying to make you feel guilty and let him out. <3 its SO cute. |
