I've just had my kitten spayed today and she is not happy about her collar at all and I have to constantly watch her so she doesn't take it off which she's done already once and I've had to put it back on, and I'm worrried she'll remove it while I'm
There are several different types of collars, so you may need to try a different kind. Some are hard plastic. These you need to feed over a collar or some thick string to secure it on the neck. Not too tight, but tight enough that it cannot easily slip over the ears. Another kind is a soft, floppy blue fabric-like collar. These are useful in cats because they can either go forward over the head or backwards to cover the body. When Oreo tries to lick her incision, it should scoot down to cover her. Another type is shaped like a bowl. It uses velcro to secure over the head. These are very effective but not very comfortable since they can be very heavy for kittens. Another option is to get a small baby onsie or kitten body suit. You can cut a small hole so that she can still go potty and for her tail to fit through. Another type of suit is called Suitical Recovery Suit for Cats - it has great reviews!

Hi, I wanted to know if my cat has been healing properly. She was spayed at April 2nd and now it's been almost a week. She's been bouncing around, eating, sleeping, uses the litter box regularly and etc... She has disolvable sutures. And I decided to
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your questions. The surgical site from the spay looks great and appears to be healing well based on the pictures you provided. It does not appear to be swollen or red, which is great! In regards to the cone, if she does not have any interest in the incision, you can try her out of the cone and see how she does. You can also find the inflatable doughnut collars that go around the neck to help prevent her from chewing at the incision (if she is chewing or licking), which can be found online or at your local Petco. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

My cat has just had neck surgery and can't wear an e-collar, because of where the incision was made. Our vet said to us that we need to come up with an alternative. We have put a tuba grip on her, but she is not happy with it.
Unfortunately, most cats hate anything that we put on them. What you have fashioned looks like the perfect solution. As long as Tuppence allow it to stay in place, I think that is likely going to be your best solution. I wish I had a better solution for you, but I think you did a great job. Now we just have to convince Tuppence that it is for her own good. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hello! My little kitty had sutures put in yesterday for a superficial wound. I was just curious, I’m worried about him continuing to take his cone off. Would it be okay if I made him a little jacket that covers it so he can’t get to it still. As lon
It is ok to place cat clothing on him to cover the area, but it still should be allowed to have oxygen, so no bandages should be placed. Also you can try feeding a collar through the cone if it is one of the ones that has loops at the base. Best of luck with Alaska and I hope that her sutures stay in place so this can heal properly. Cats are fast healers and typically after 7-10 days are completely healed, as long as the site doesn't get infected. Thanks for visiting Boop by Petco. Take care!

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.
