:( ddog ended up at the vet yesterday as he managed to slice his pad open on a piece of glass in the bushes. It was a very deep cut and he was losing quite a bit of blood so he's had to have it stitched. He hasn't got a dressing on as the vet wanted it left open to the air but he came home with a sock held on with vet wrap to give it a bit of protection when out and about.
He started licking his paw as soon as the sock came off so the cone of shame had to go on. He HATES it. He's lying on the rug just crying very very quietly which is heart-breaking. We tried an inflatable collar when he got neutered which lasted ooh about 5 seconds before it got punctured so that's out. I've looked at alternatives like wrapping a towel around his neck but I'm not sure if that will be big enough to prevent access to his foot.
Any other ideas please? Am currently feeling like the worst dog owner in the world
