I was just thinking about cones.

We've had one since Angus' first surgery at nine months. Recently it started to wear out, so I got a new one when I went in this week.

Offhand, I can't count how many times he's had to wear a cone.

In 10 1/2 years, Crash never wore a cone.

I just wondered if any of you have dogs like Crash, who have never needed one? Or is a cone pretty much a given if you have a Lab?

The cone is a wardrobe staple with these two. :tape2:

Knock on wood, Abbey has never had to wear a cone. I've had Kolby for 2 months and he's already worn it once.

I'm lucky - I don't really have to worry about buying them - I can always "borrow" one from work.

 

[AngusFangus]

You've only had Kolby for two months?? Wow, it seems like so much longer!

 

[justine]

Yep, well it will be 3 months in a couple weeks. Feels like forever, for me, too! :crazy: Especially considering that he totally pulled me to the ground on the bike today - skinned my palms and knee. :crutch:

 

[BigBrownDog]

I've had a cone on every dog I have ever had.

 

[MNLab]

No cones here, for any of them!

Jake destroyed his cone after his neuter - he hasn't needed it since. Knock on wood. Charlotte is a frequent coner, injury-prone lady.

Cinnamon doesn't own one. She had one when she was spayed but of course that wouldn't fit her now. But she never wore it then just told her NO a couple of times when she would lick and she left her stitches alone. (she listened so much better at 6 months then now)

Knock on wood, Sammi has never had or needed a cone. Never needed one for our Eskie either. Why did this feeling of impending doom just come over me:scared:

 

[rottnlab dad]

Knock on wood here too.
Bella is 9 and has never needed one.

Like I would tempt fate Connie !

They don't seem to use them here. Ernie has had 3 major surgeries and not once had a cone. In the bonce cancer group many of them say they dont have cones so didn't think anything of it.

 

[joflake]

I just bought one last year, but never used it. Don't know why I bought it now.

 

[bearbuddymarie]

never had one here, with any of my dogs dating back to 1984 !

 

[blacklabelias]

Last week was the first time Elias has needed a cone. Wyatt has never, but he's never had surgery either.

 

[Henery&Ollie's mom]

Henery's had a few cones so far (his neuter, two broken toes, his puffy ears and crazy rash right before Ollie came home) but Ollie has not had one yet... *KNOCK WOOD*

 

[Baloo317]

Baloo wore one after his neuter for about three seconds, then I took it off because he looked so upset.

He wore one all week he was in the hospital in the fall to keep him from bugging his IV site.

However, I don't own one. Peanut has never needed a cone.

 

[MidwestGirl]

No cones here and Sadie never has never had to wear one.

 

[AngusFangus]

Like I would tempt fate Connie !

LOL!

Wesley was 9.5 before he had his first exposure to a cone. He's intact from his show career, so no cone for that. And thankfully, he hasn't needed surgery 'til late last yr.
