What Other Alternatives To Elizabethan Collar

By Elaine Guthrie


You can never tell what accidents you will ever encounter. This is the same for your pets. They might get severe skin diseases or get into an incident that would need surgery. These types of things are situations that you cannot foresee. The only way you can help them is to be alert and prepared for what it is about to happen in the future.

If they ever receive surgery because of their accident and if they have severe wounds, you can utilize several options to help improve their condition. For the scars or the stitches to heal faster, they have to prevent themselves from biting or scratching it. However, this is already their nature and you can really expect them to do that. To protect their wounds from themselves. You can use an Elizabethan collar. For those who are not very fond of it there are alternatives to Elizabethan collar for you to use.

You can easily recognize e collars because they are cone in shape. They are usually attached to the necks of your pets especially when they are just done with the surgery. It wraps the head around with plastic cone so that they can be prevented from biting their wounds and it would not open up again. It is always considered as effective but there are certain times when it can be more of an obstruction than help.

These collars are usually made of plastic that is lightweight. For your pet to still move around with it on, it has to be lightweight and plastic. But the disadvantage to it is that it is easy to break. They usually ram it to harder surfaces in order for them to get rid of it easily. If this is already the case, you have to make sure that you have other options to use.

One of the most common alternative are colors that are like neck braces. They would not be able to turn around and reach their wounds. These are specifically best for specific types of dog. Because it is more durable and more intact, it would be hard for them to reach their wounds and make a mess of it even more.

Wearing the brace might not be best to do at all times. They will feel stiff and this might make them even more uncomfortable. You can switch with the blow up cushion. These are just like the ones that you see being used by those who ride planes to make their necks relaxed. But these are the types that are suited for the smaller necks of your pets.

There are several other alternatives. If you do not want to spend more on these braces, you can make use of other things that are already used. For example, you can use socks and and shirts. You can use it according to where the wound is located. If it is in the legs, you can use the socks. There are others who make use of the shirts to cover the body.

Most of the time, the e collar would not work because they are not comfortable when they are restrained. Aside from that, they will also feel pain and itchiness on where the wound is. Because of this, they would try to remove it on their own. They are usually doing it through bumping it through things.

Most of the time, they would resort to breaking things because of the needs to break free from the collars. If they see that it is not working at all, they would divert their attention to you and your knees. Every time you are on site, you can expect them to ram the collar to you.
