Mooper Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Nonna, is that you? Poor Cody. I hope he's all better soon. I'm glad he's got his fave toy to keep him company while you're giggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterpaws Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Awwww I love the Cody boy!!! He's sporting some very funky socks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garloch Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Poor poor Cody! If you were by chance looking for something to stop him scratching his face, Maadi Pets (internet and several shops) has a collar type thing that blows up around their neck (no, it doesn't choke them) and they can't scratch. I think it was made for dogs with an injured paw, and the collar stops them chewing it, or stitches, etc, but might just work in reverse?? Its listed on their site under first aid. Super purple socks though! I'd wear them, if they came in my size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7464 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks for the advice, Garloch. I'll definitely check it out but I have my doubts that anything inflated would stay that way with the force of Cody's scratching. He's one determined boy. Cody is doing much better with the collar now. He's figured out how to have a drink and has reduced the amount of crazy crashes into solid objects. I got evil stares at the vets when I took him out to the car, he crashed into the door and then the seat which caused me to laugh at him just as a family was walking into the surgery.

Mooper Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 It's like canine pinball, isn't it? Or dodgem cars, where Cody is the car ... I'm glad he's adapted to the conehead look. How is his face looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula- Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I saw these in a greyhound mag: http://www.handicappedpets.com/acc/nobite/ Wouldn't help poor Cody though I'm thinking it might be good for the greys! Stop those between-the-leg zoomies when wearing a bucket - owwwww! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7464 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 I took the cone off so Cody could have a little break. He got itchy, I told him to stop and he ignored me. His wound bled. I gave it a good soak and I think it's ok but it set back the healing by a day or three. Paula, those collars look like they'd be worth a shot. I know Cody is fed up. He was off his food for a couple of days, tonight I fed him steak and he ate it but it was all he'd eaten for at least 24 hours. No news on the results of his tummy biopsy yet, I have to call back tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooper Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Tummy biopsy? I missed that bit earlier. Why did he have that done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Chloe got desexed yesterday and I asked for one of those collars! I also couldn't stop giggling at her because once she was in her crate she couldn't turn around with it on, plus she was still drowsy. Hope Cody's feeling more up to eating soon!

7464 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Tummy biopsy?I missed that bit earlier. Why did he have that done? Did I forget that bit? He had a camera poked into his belly and they took biopsies because there were some red bits. It might just be ulcers. Jillybean, thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one who laughs at their dog's misfortune. But seriously, a few days with a crowd clearing device strapped around their head really can save them a lot of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooper Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm told it improves TV reception as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7464 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Inspector Rex was on tonight and Cody was facing the other way which resulted in the usual average reception we get for SBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
