So Mom and Dad really do mean No when they tell me not to scratch and bite my hot spots?
The Friday before Labor Day weekend not only did Mom and Dad get sick, but I came down with a nasty hot spot. The Vet was gone for the holiday, so I had to make my first ever visit to the emergency Vet. (Not bad for 11 years if I do say so myself.) The assistants were very friendly and gentle. Dog Dad liked talking with the Vet on duty.
Then came the bad news. Since I couldn't stop attacking my hot spot, I had to wear the cone. It was awful folks. I've seen you post pictures, but the shame and the awkwardness was awful. Dog Dad and I made a deal after one dog of cone wearing. If I wouldn't attack the hot spot I could try to prove I could be trusted.
I'll tell you after the horror of bumping into every table, chair and wall in the house, I took that deal and just wore my t-shirt. The hot spot is almost cleared up. However, I noticed they haven't put the cone away. If I even think about slipping, it's coming back.

ReplyDeleteyou have our sympathy - you know there is nice soft cones they make now....much easier on the furniture :)
ReplyDeleteOh, no! The cone! :-(
ReplyDeleteI hate the cone of shame. If Ma puts it on me, I won't walk an inch! Nope. I just sit in one spot and make her feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the soft cones? I think they're easier on the dog.

Awe, poor Bailey. :( Maya got lucky this summer in that she didn't get any hot spots. Both last year and the year before that, the insects, specifically the chiggers, were really bad and Maya got hot spots. But not this year1
ReplyDeleteOh, the Cone of Shame is the pits! Sounds like you figured the situation out though! Good job! Leave that little hot spot alone so you can remain cone free!!! Rita says, the only good cone is an ice cream cone!
ReplyDeleteI hate all clothes. Luckily I haven't had to wear one of those cones yet. Hope yours goes away soon!

ReplyDeleteSorry about the cone, Bailey. We hope your speedy recovery!

We once put one of those miserable things on our dog. He was so depressed that scratching would have been better. We currently have an itchy dog who is fixing to start a study. She's been off even Benedryl for a couple of weeks and is miserable with her itching. I hope this new treatment works!
