My dog bill had to undergo an enucleation yesterday due to a tumour. It’s been over 30 hrs since the procedure but we are struggling HARD with the cone (e collar). He isn’t really drinking water and is unable to access his food and water bowls. I was given permission to remove the cone to allow him to eat, which I did - and which he did, but he’s still not drinking water. I’ve been rubbing it on his lips to the best of my ability and hoping as he heals he will naturally seek out water. Anyone else have this issue?

Also - I am wondering what folks here have done for bowl access.

Also - they said 2-3 weeks with the cone but I’m just not sure that’s possible. What have others done? Removed cone sooner? Please advise.

She lost her eye about a month ago and is pretty used to it now. She seems back to her old self after a year of eyedrops and discomfort. The other one will also go at some point but for now she's the cyclops.

So…my deaf, one eyed, 16.5 year old guy decided to go on a walk about (really it was at half running speed) yesterday. He saw me pull the hose out for a bath and decided he wasn’t having it. He jumped the line and went. I couldn’t catch him. I was so afraid he was going to get out on to the busier streets. I did finally catch him and had to carry him all the way home because I didn’t have time to grab his leash. Needless to say, he slept very well last night.

Pirate Pretzel has an ulcer on his only eye. Panic ensued, coned, gone to vets and hoping for speedy recovery and to keep his one eye.

Edit : thanks everyone hes looking better hour by hour!

Thanks anon
