Sid And The Cone Of Shame

He's got a puncture on his right eye, so the vet stitched his third eyelid across. Shaved patch is because he ended up with a massive hot spot at the same time. Bloody dog :laugh:

Poor Sarah! What happened?

I took Sid out for a walk today, first break from the cone. He was good while we were walking, but when we stopped he was rubbing his eye all over the ground :/

I don't think so, I stopped him pretty quickly. He is just so desperate to get to it. I hate that he's uncomfortable, but there's nothing I can do really.

Back to the vet tomorrow for another check up, but everything looks the same to me - stitches still in place.

Sarah had a tumor removed from her eye lid, she's doing ok and getting used to the cone hitting things, it'll be on until this weekend which is a pain as she won't even attempt drinking with it on so she's getting fluids through syringe

But yes like Sid the eye is fun to scratch as soon as you take the cone off

I'd add some extra water to her dinner too if you aren't already :)

Ok so his stitches had slipped a bit, but the vet just tightened them up. Before he did, he had a look at the damaged part and said it's healing well. Fingers crossed.

why not take the cone off a few times a day and encourage/tell her to have a drink? That seems to me easier than syringing ;) ?

Nah syringing is actually easier, she's a bit of a shy drinker unless she's really thirsty, doesn't like having her head in a bowl not being able to see what's going on.

Even if I walk past her while she's drinking her head is straight up looking at me going 'move on, nothing to see here'

Glad Sid is recovering ok Huga, Sarah is mostly back to herself, just with a cone on.
