Anvik needs surgery...Updated

[Cinder & Smoke]

Anvik freaked right out when I put the e-collar on him.

I'm going to order one of those no-bite collars.

I can't find one locally and I always forget to order one until I need it!
Just have to find a website that will ship to Canada.

I might just go buy a cervical collar tomorrow at the medical supply place
and see if that will work.

** Firstly - search using the porper name - it's BiteNot
(Only took me about 45 minutes of searching to get the Name Right!)

They have a web site page = http://www.bitenot.com/suppliers.html

That page lists several Consumer Dealers for the USA; none for Canada.
Below that are the VET Rep/Distributors - several for USA, ONE for Canada.

Canadian VET Rep is: Veterinary Purchasing Co Ltd -

I'd think that SOMEbody in Canada is selling BiteNots to Consumers ...
but so far I haven't found a Canadian outlet for them.
Maybe Ask da VET.

OR - Build one yourself!
Cut up a round 1 gallon (or the Canuk Metric Equivilant) Milk Jug ...
get rid of the tapered top; and cut out the bottom ...
All you want is the curved, round BODY of the container...
* Trim to fit AROUND his neck - fit between the shoulders and base of skull/ears
* Trim to length - but allow for a tight *wrap* around his heck with generous overlap
* Add cushioning a towel or foam rubber between the collar and his neck -
* Allow some to cover the edges of the "tube"
* SECURE with Ducky Tape
* It needs to be *TIGHT* so he can't paw it off over his ears ... but let him "breathe".

* It's "good fit" if he can't BEND his neck (and can still breathe)

The "real" BiteNots are made of THICK plastic --- IF the Milk Jug copy is too
flimsy and he can crush or krink it ...
use several jugs and tape them into a Looong coutinuous strip;
then just WRAP them around his neck to add layers - 2 or 3 wrap-arounds and
then taped at the last joint should make an un-bendable collar.
