Leo is NOT amused
That title pretty much says it all. Leo is not a happy camper the last couple days. You see, his mean mom took him to vet and left him there. While he was there, he got sleepy and when he woke up, his boy parts were gone. Ooooo, those evil humans.
Now, we know Leo does not like change. It never goes over well, ever. So, we wanted to try to avoid any kind of e-collar because we knew it wouldn't go over well. We lasted 1 day before Leo was trying to lick his incision. So the collar went on. In an effort to make this as painless as possible, we bought an inflatable collar instead of making him wear the traditional cone contraption (we were pretty sure that would result in broken things and a very traumatized Leo).
Leo is NOT amused with his new headwear
Poor guy could not figure out how to lay down or get comfortable with the collar on.
"Maybe if I sit on mom I'll feel better."
Mom has a great view . . . not
Finally I took pity on Leo and sat on the floor. He snuggled in (in hopes I would save him from the evil collar) and then figured out how to use it as a pillow and fell asleep.
But then we repeated the same problem this morning. The only way he could get comfortable was to lay on top of me. And Rocky didn't want to be left out. (Don't mind me, I had just gotten out of the shower and was trying to get the rest of my coffee in me)
For now Leo is napping on the floor without the inflatable collar. Some outside time with the Mr helped tire him out. And I am hoping he understand my rule that if he leaves his incision alone and stay in a room with a human, he can have it off. But if he wants to roam the house or bugs his incision, it goes back on. Wish us all luck, it is going to be a tough couple days.
