Default Good e-collar!

The next time you need an Elizabethan collar (and you know you likely will!), I want to recommend The Comfy Cone. Chagall's wearing one until his paw heals completely. It really doesn't impede his movement, even allowing him to sleep comfortably and it's sparing our walls from all the banging of the stiff traditional plastic e-collars. I got it from Cherrybrook, they're local to us but also on-line, lots of others sell it too I see from a brief web search. I hope you don't need it, but if you do, it's a good solution. The velcro closure strips on it are noisy when opened and closed and at first the sound startled Chagall a bit, but after a few moments he settled down about it. I think giving him some tasty treats while introducing helped.
