Willow's Surgery Update

Willow had her surgery today. I picked her up from the vet about an hour ago. Right now she is very drowsy and is definitely not happy about having to wear the e-collar. The vet said both surgeries were a success which is great news. Her eye is swollen right now, so its hard to tell how good of a job the vet did, but I'm sure its going to look fine. Thanks to all of you for your support. I think I needed it more than Willow did. I hate to see her like this, but I know she'll be feeling better in a few days and that in the long run, this was the best thing for her.

Wish us luck with the e-collar. I think we're both going to need it. She's already knocked some things off the coffee table. Its going to be a long two weeks!

So glad the vet thinks all went well!

The e collar is a horrible thing! The damage to the walls... ouch.


I have heard of a collar that is a big cushion-like cervical collar that goes around the neck and is thick enough to prevent the dog from scratching but doesn't stick way out and have the acoustical problems that the e-collar has.

Anyone know anything about it?

UPDATE: I found this on the web:

Here's a site telling how to make an alternative collar:

Good luck, and let us know if you try something (regardles of whether it works!)

I found a better picture... but still not super soft...

Hi Willowsmom,

I'm so sorry to hear about Willow. Eye surgery or ? I'm sorry as I must have missed the post regarding her upcoming surgery. I hope she will feel better in a day or two - You'll probably take longer to recover as you're the mom. Please give her a belly rub for me.

Hugs to you as well

Marianne and the boys (whom send sloppy kisses Willows way)
