I neutered my male dog yesterday and he was on with the E collar(cone) but from yesterday he wants to take it off non stop and didn’t sleep at night at all. And he partially ruiend the cone and managed to chew it! Is there another way except the cone
The problem with the surgical suit is that it may not let the incision breathe as well as it should in order to quickly heal. You could try an inflatable collar - it looks like an airplane pillow and sold at the pet stores. Make sure you get a big enough size - if it is too small it won't work. This works well with most incisions on the body but doesn't work for anything on a leg/foot. I hope this helps!

6 month old kitten spayed today. She is very stressed out and won't keep her collar on. She's trying to bite her stitches and trying to jump on furniture. All vets are closed as it's nighttime, what can we do?
You can try to use a pet shirt or baby onesie to cover the stitches. Or make a belly bandage using whatever you have around the house - like clean dish towels and duct tape. If you have a small kennel or carrier, Bonnie may need to stay in there to stay confined since excessive running or jumping can cause internal sutures to loosen up and cause bleeding problems. You may call your vet tomorrow or look at pet stores for different styles of e-collars. Some are shaped like a cone, some are floppy like a sunhat and can be worn pointing towards the shoulders, and some are inflatable donuts.

We had our 5 year old cat spayed today and she kept taking her cone off so we bought her a vest, but everytime we leave the room she somehow manages to get out of it! What shall I do? She isn't biting the stitches, just cleaning them then leaving the
You could try a baby/infant t-shirt to see if this will prevent her from getting to the stitches. You may also consider one of the inflatable collars that are more comfortable but still prevent them from licking incisions on their abdomen. You can usually find these are your local Petco or pet store. I hope this helps!

Our cat was spayed 4 days ago and she keeps managing to lick her incision despite two different cones and trying to cover it with a shirt. Do we need to take her to an emergency vet? Is there a way I can clean this without making things worse?
Cats are little stinkers! You may have to try a longer than normal rigid e-collar, or you can look for the bowl style that are used in cats. You could try a large tube sock as a dress (cut holes for head and arms). You could attach string or elastic to make "stirrups" that pull the shirt down. As for cleaning, a warm wet washcloth is all that is needed. Though, since it appears red and swollen, I would recommend taking her to the vet for evaluation and possibly to start antibiotics.

My 3 month old kitten just got neutered , I tried using the cone/collar but he manages to take it off each and every time resulting in licking his stitches what can I do? Also I replaced his usual clay litter to paper pellets and he doesnt even go #1
I would get a soft paper collar at PetCo that you can tighten so he can’t remove it. If it’s been a day or two then go back to his normal litter. I don’t want to break his litter box training, and he could develop a urinary problem if he’s not going regularly. If the incisions are closed then the litter won’t be an issue. In a few days the incisions will heal. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Hunter.
