Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Ideally, you find a way to make the e-collar fit. I do not really know what is exact issue you have with the e-collar but keep in mind that you can use things like pieces of clothing or other things to try to tighten it up if that is the issue. I would like to tell you that this is not going to be an issue but in reality this can be an issue if he gets to his incision depending on what kind of incision he has. It is very important he wears his e-collar to prevent something from happening to the incision. If nothing works, you could consider going to your local emergency hospital to get an e-collar as they would be open. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If this is really just from stress then you can consider giving her breaks wearing the e-collar. For example taking it off a few hours a day while being completely supervised to avoid further scratching. This can only be done if approved by your veterinarian who has more knowledge on the case. I would recommend you contact them to propose this to them and see if they agree this is a good plan again k knowing all the details about the case. If she had not been vomiting before you talked to your veterinarian and that is new, she should be evaluated again. Best of luck!

Hi there and thanks for your post on PetCoach! I would recommend calming supplements for your pets that have L-theanine in them which can have a calming effect. I would recommend a product called Composure from VetriScience which comes in a liquid and chewable form. I have the product linked below: I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, most cats hate anything that we put on them. What you have fashioned looks like the perfect solution. As long as Tuppence allow it to stay in place, I think that is likely going to be your best solution. I wish I had a better solution for you, but I think you did a great job. Now we just have to convince Tuppence that it is for her own good. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello. I would definitely take the collar off for a bit & see if he relaxes without it. You can always put the collar back on if he will not leave the biopsy site alone. If he truly needs a collar, check with your local Petco or other pet supply to purchase one of the soft, cloth-like collars. They are much more comfortable & Whisker's may do better with one of these. But if he leaves the site alone, he may not need to wear anything at all.
