Little Mitzi had her spay surgery on Tuesday, and they sent her home with a cone collar so she cannot bite and lick her stitches. She was supposed to wear it for 10 - 14 days!! The thing is, she has skin allergies and issues, so she is a professional tummy scratcher. She rubs her tummy on the carpet, she is an expert at using her hind legs to scratch just the right spot on her belly, and she ingeniously drags herself down the stairs on her stomach to get in a little extra scratching! Obviously, the cone collar was NOT going to stop this schnauzer from putting her stitches in jeopardy. We decided that a little onesie might at least shield them from the worst while allowing them to "breathe" and heal properly. So here she is in her size 24 months cute pink onesie! It came with a little skirt, but we decided to spare her the further humiliation of that! She has not worn the collar at all because licking and chewing have not been a problem. Doesn't she look pretty in pink?!
(By the way - the human red eye removal feature won't remove doggy blue eye!)
