Sad Dog in E-collar

While my dog, Riley, was recuperating from surgery he had to wear an e-collar for two weeks. He hated it and howled, complaining bitterly, from his beddy-bed. Such a sad little boy!!!

I'm sorry at your loss I was just curious as to why you were told to put an e collar on him. For what purpose??

Sorry, I didn't realize you didn't know what the collar was for. After surgery the vet puts this on the animal so it can't lick or pull the stitches out. It is clear plastic so it doesn't obstruct their view.

Why did he have to wear an e collar???

[ThePrincessPat]

Riley had to wear the e-collar after yet another surgery to save his life. Every year & a half or so he developed peri-anal tumors which threatened his intestines if they were not removed. In this video Riley was 9 years old and had become blind a few months before. He was upset because he had to be in the collar again. He lived another 18 months after this surgery before kidney cancer took him from us. He had a very happy life with us and he knew he was loved. I will always miss him.

Ohh, poor baby. It amazes me how some commenters are so dense about e-collars. It's to protect the dog from harming themselves!

My doggie has to now wear an e-collar (short for Elizabethan permanently because he has glaucoma and constantly scratches his eyes. One eye was already lost due to constant scratching. So, I'm trying to save his good eye.

It took awhile for him to adjust, but he eventually go used to it.

E collar is a reference used by a heck of a lot of people to the type that gives dogs an electric shock as punnishment not the ice cream cone collar. I was initially confused as to why you'd want to shock as well as the plastic collar after surgery. Thank you for replying.
