You may know about this from this other thread - Exit Santa Ebbs. Enter Miss Conehead - but I'll explain anyway.Not sure how it began, but Ebby has this owie near the end of her tail. Took her to the vets, it was cleaned up, she was given an antibiotic injection and we went home with some pills to give her.
For a little while she stopped worrying at it and it began to heal ... then she started in again! I called the vet and got some more pills and a e-collar. Put it on her only to find she could still reach her owie!! Christmas time, vets closed until yesterday, (by the way, most everywhere else was too, been a long Christmas break for some).
Called in the vets for a new one, here is Ebbs modelling the latest version.
And here are pictures of her in the two cone sizes.
You may be wondering why I didn't put the cone on her last night. Well, she fooled me once again. Her owie looked to be begining to heal, she obviously hadn't touched all day, plus she was sooo loving, never before load of purrs and headbumpies, she was a little like a dog pushing under my hand and arm. So I thought one more night wouldn't harm. Big mistake. This morning there was what only could be dried blood on the carpet plus her owie was red raw. Bad girl. To be fair, she was exceptionaly good while I was putting the cone on her this morning, no scratches this time.
(Not very good) Picture of owie attached
