I hope you will have a talk with him about this, Mary. Please let us know what he has to say in response.

More good wishes and healing energies and prayers to you, Yodie, Pidgie, and all from us.

Purrs and hugs,

I think my Yodie could use some more prayers, please. She's just so miserable. That collar has been on for so long, she has a tough time navigating w/it b/c she's so small. Food gets caught in it and she becomes so aggravated when I have to clean it (and her) up. She can't lie comfortably and get rested. No sleeping circular for this little girl. Her cry is so pathetic. My son said "Mom, I wish I could be here when that collar comes off. I'd give her so many scritchies and noggin noogies". The worst part is that her ear and eye don't appear to be healing at all and I've been faithfully administering meds daily and giving her as much love and attention as she can tolerate. LOL If you could spare a prayer for my little Yodie Yodie, we'd appreciate it.

Poor Yodie girl! I'm sure that the collar isn't making her happy. And I'm sorry she's having such a tough time with the healing process. It's been so difficult for both of you.

Please get well soon, Yodie!

Dear Yodie,
I know exactly how you feel about wearing the E collar!!! And just like you, my incision opened up, too!!! I will have Mom light a candle for you and say some extra prayers.
Take care Yodie(and Mary, too), Love, Tina Peepers

Huge prayers for poor Yodie. I wonder if your regular vet would have a different idea for her? Dr Lee has done the right thing, but sometimes a second look from another vet can help.

I wish there was a more comfy collar she can wear. There is a softer one that has spines like an umbrella, so it folds down when the kitty lies down.

Hugs and prayers to Yodie and you!

Oh Mary, I'm so sorry to hear that poor Yodie is so uncomfortable and not feeling all that good. There are always plenty of spare prayers around here so don't ever hesitate to ask!

I mentioned a different type of collar and they don't have any there but I suppose I could get one online. I was told, though, not to chance it b/c she's so expert at getting the collar off and a softer one might be even easier for her.

Poor Yodie. I sure wish that mess would clear up so she could get back to her normal routine, and you could get some rest from kitty issues for a while. When does she go back to Dr Lee?

Maybe you should give that soft collar a shot. Maybe your other vet carries them.

Nothing ventured - nothing gained.

Poor Yodie. More prayers & healing thoughts on the way.

Mary, before you dismiss using a soft e-collar take a look at this one
Comfy cone (More info about it here)

Or maybe one of these two recovery collars which are a different design..

Edit. I can fully understand your reluctance to try any of them on Yodie, I think perhaps I would be too given what could happen if they didn't work. {{big hugs}}
