- Cricket (2014-) Willa: (2001-2013)
Cricket's scheduled for a vulvoplasty, entropion surgery, and extraction of 2 loose teeth (front lower incisors- she doesn't use these) all at once. (I do not want to put Cricket under general anesthesia any more times than what's absolutely necessary.. she does have a bulldog specialist working her case- I'm getting some peace with this. She's with Blue Ravine Animal Hospital in Folsom..)
Anyone have any experience with doing these procedures at the same time? Any tips?
Another thing. I cannot use an e-collar on Cricket. She can't handle it. She hates things over her head and on her back. Last time I put an e-collar on her, she panicked so badly she did a complete backflip and nearly hit her head- it was horrible. (If I didn't seee it actually happen, I'd be skeptical that a bulldog could do a backflip!) I'm thinking an inflatable Kong collar would work? I can't think of anything else that would keep her from getting at her eye stitches. I'm hoping someone here has suggestions/experience with both at the same time? .
Naturally, I will be keeping a close eye on her and have no intention of leaving her unsupervised until she has completely recovered. (Fortunately I'm a teacher and will be doing this during the last few weeks of my summer vacation).. but in the event something is needed, what would work?
TIA
