I think this is an excellent idea! Of course, if you don't change the bandages everyday that part might not work, but when you do change them, if you can leave her with them off for a short time - like 1/2 hour or so - that might make her feel all that much better and able to cope once the bandages and cone come back.

Poor Bassett and poor you. It is a good thing that she's fighting which means she's feeling better, but if the two of you can just endure for a short time yet, it should all be over soon.

{{{Hugs}}} to you and skritchies for Bassett. And hang in there....
