The Elizabethan collar or other similar collar is a protective collar to prevent the cat from scratching the wound or licking the affected area, because it is similar to the Elizabethan British neck collar, so it is nicknamed the Elizabethan collar.
Many cat slaves will sterilize the cat, and after the sterilization, the cat must wear this neck cover for a week or two. During this time, the cat's eating and drinking May be affected by some, and today the pet jun will talk to you about how to make the cat eat and drink well during this time.
Cough, raw nothing to love
First, adjust the height of the cat's food bowl
After the operation, you may ask your pet doctor how you should take care of your cat during this time, and they may also suggest that you adjust the height of your cat's bowl. If the cat's food bowl is usually placed on the floor, then you can put something underneath and adjust the height.
Because if it is about the same height as usual, elizabeth collar may hinder the cat's eating, and some bad-tempered cats may be angry because they can't eat food because they are affected by the collar, and they will refuse to eat. Of course, you can observe for yourself to see if it will be affected, and if there is no impact, you can also not adjust. During this time, you can also consider changing the cat to a large bowl with a deep point and a high point, which will be better than a plate with a shallow opening.
Shovel, take this away
Second, wait for the cat to adapt to itself
Although Elizabethan collars can affect the cat's feeding to some extent, they quickly learn to adapt. In fact, if the collar worn by the cat is the right size and the right fit, it will not affect their feeding after a short period of practice. Moreover, although it is said that when it is first worn, it will affect the cat's feeding, but as long as there is no serious problem, they will generally adapt to it on their own.
Hmmm, give me remember and I'll be back
Third, temporarily take off Elizabeth's collar
Although the pet does not recommend that you do this, if the collar does seriously affect the cat's feeding, then the relatives can temporarily take off the collar when the cat eats. However, the premise is that the cat must be within the line of sight of the relatives, and the cat must wear a collar for them immediately after eating.
When wearing an Elizabeth collar for a cat, make sure to keep the collar tight and moderate attention to keeping the neck skin of the cat at a distance of two fingers wide. Then check the cat's neck every day to see if the collar scratches the cat's skin or has other problems.
So tired, shoveling is coming to serve you
Fourth, change the Elizabeth collar of other materials
There are not only hard-plastic Elizabeth collars on the market, but also other materials for you to choose from. Which material to choose the collar is mainly based on the cat's wound or the wound after surgery, and sometimes you can choose the softer material of the collar instead of the hard plastic material.
However, if you want to change the collar of other materials, it is best to consult with the pet doctor, because not all material collars are suitable for the type of wound of the cat. For example, a collar that is softer than a hard plastic collar is not effective in isolating a cat from biting its tail or licking the affected area.
