Dog collar stuck on leg and neck, too tight. How to remove it at home?

1) take off the collar and do not put it back on. 2) cut or clip away the hair around the wound to facilitate cleaning the wound, 3) clean the wound with a mild disinfectant 4) let heal by itself. If there is no pus or infection there is no need to put an antibiotic on the wound. If it looks like there is infection or if the wound is deep, or if you are not able to do steps 2-3, you should take Bella to a veterinarian for wound care.

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Roxi. Oh no, that is bad! You definitely should call the vet in the morning, but until then, we have to stop the licking or it will make things worse. Put an Ecollar on her to keep her from licking it. You can get one at a pet store or make one at home. If you want to make one at home, I will put a link below on how to make it. Try to get her into a vet tomorrow. I hope this helps! http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html

Hi, if you are able to pass two fingers between the bandage and the neck, the bandage is lose enough. If you remove the bandage completely or make it too lose Lily will be able to take the cone off and then she might lick her wound. I would recommend to loosen it slightly f you are unable to pass two fingers between the neck and the bandage. You could change the plastic collar to an inflatable one, I would recommend to do it tomorrow morning so that you have any issues you can always pop Lily into your vet and get help placing the collar back ! She looks quite cheeky and smart ! Hope this helps !

Hi, I'm Dr. Johnson. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Spring!!! I think he needs stitches. I'd bring him to your Veterinarian at a minimum for antibiotics and have him looked at for possible other health issues from neglect. I am so sorry you are going through this.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. She could have developed some skin irritation from her wet collar rubbing on her skin. I recommend keeping the collar off for now and not letting her swim or get wet for at least the next few days. I would not put any more neosporin or other ointments on the area, as this can trap moisture and delay healing. If the area gets worse or you notice other areas becoming affected, Kenya should be seen by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It sounds like you are doing everything right. Normally, if you are able to fit 2 fingers then yes that should be ok. You can try to give her a treat when you put the collar on so that she starts associating the collar with something positive. They do get used to it relatively quickly within days to weeks. It may just take a bit longer for her. Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would imagine it would be ok to remove at the time of a bath or nail clipping but I would consult with your veterinarian before doing any changes as they know her condition in more detail and would be able to make more accurate recommendations. Good luck!
