Cone of Shame: Day 9

I don't think we can continue titling Bobby's post-neuter recovery entries as "Cone of Shame..." anymore. Why?



To prevent him choking himself, we used a pair of scissors to cut through one of the tabs that connected the cone to his collar. The other that hadn't come off during his stunt was manually pulled out.

Can someone please tell Bobby that his cone is not a leg warmer/piece of armour? Thanks.

After this stunt, he was left cone-free. He did lick it despite my attempts to stop it but otherwise, left it alone when the novelty wore off. We tried to put it back on him later but Bobby wouldn't have it. He managed to remove the twist-tie, open the cone and leave it hanging on his back. Subsequently, we had to remove the cone again.

Now, he is loving the freedom.






We've decided to let him be cone-free, rather than risk him choking himself at night. We'll see how he behaves tomorrow. If he persistently insists on licking and the wound shows irritation, we'll be getting him another cone. Hopefully it won't come down to that.

Whilst enjoying the A/C, I gave Bobby his Kong. Surprisingly, the chicken neck took him longer than expected to remove. Overall, the Kong kept him occupied for a little over an hour.
