Spayed how long cone

My girl wore a t shirt thingy after her spay. She showed so little interest in her tiny incisions she had a laparoscopic spay so only two tiny incisions that I kept it rolled up after a couple of days. I was much happier with this than the cone and she was not remotely bothered by it, in fact I think she quite liked it! Plum's mum , Jan 8, Cooper had a big incision, but did not need a cone.

Others may rip out their sutures and need another trip to the vet and may even require another anesthesia to repair them.

Some will dislodge surgical implants or damage casts and splints. Many times this leads to an injury or infection that is much worse than the original injury was. Many animals have injured themselves quite severely, painfully, and sadly even fatally. I have personally viewed the aftermath of both a dog and cat who both eviscerated themselves after routine spay surgeries, simply because they were not wearing a cone.

The dog survived after an additional emergency surgery which included removing a damaged spleen. The ramifications of the incident will be lifelong for her. The cat was not so lucky, and the poor girl was euthanized. Both would have been perfectly fine after her spay had the cone simply been on.
