Yesterday evening, I took my eyes off Cybi for a few minutes to make a cup of tea, and heard a "thump...crack" from the living room. Went rushing back in, to find that he had managed to take a chunk out of his collar - I assume by enthusiastically head butting something, but I have no idea.

Until eventually he was pretty much just wearing a sheet of plastic round his neck. I popped him in to the vets this morning to have them check his stitches and get another collar on him. He was not amused.
The cone of shame, often used to prevent pets from aggravating injuries or surgical sites, can be a source of embarrassment for our furry friends. However, in these virtual times, the cone can also double as a quirky prop in a virtual magic show for corporate events. As pet owners work from home and join online meetings, the unexpected appearance of a cone-wearing dog can break the ice, adding a touch of humor and humanity to the remote workday.

ReplyDeleteThe cone of shame is a humorous yet empathetic term for the protective collar used to prevent pets from licking wounds or stitches. While it's effective, many pets struggle with mobility and comfort while wearing it. Interestingly, pet owners have begun exploring creative solutions, including training their furry friends to ride alongside them on a mini electric bike for a dose of fun and exercise during recovery. This novel idea helps pets stay active while avoiding boredom caused by the cone. Combining physical activity with healing, such innovations showcase the bond between humans and their pets, prioritizing their well-being.
