Chirs, I have found that the benedine dries the sores almost overnight. It is mostly iodine and it is what the vets and dr.s use when they operate on you....to keep it clean......it cannot hurt, honestly.

I think you can buy it a the drug store just about anywhere.

Also, I usually buy two collars, since one usually gets lost or eaten, when they have to wear them. I also switched to the soft collar, as they didn't detest it quite so much. My vet even ordered them, since she saw it on Chloe, when she was spayed.

Poor Ebby - and Chris....sleepless nights....
