4 weeks in a cone of shame for ddog1 due to a badly injured nail.
She can't be walked far at the moment as it hurts her, the nail was ripped almost completely off.
The vets managed to remove the hanging bit and have said they want to avoid removing the rest as they think it will heal and grow out better than if it was removed by them.
Either way she would be wearing the cone.
She hates it, brain training only goes so far and she can't be walked much so she's grouchy.
We also have another dog so she sees him going out and gets upset or he trys to play with her and she can't play properly and gets frustrated.
I need ideas to keep her occupied, she wears a boot for an hour a day but she'll have it off when you blink and be licking and chewing her toe. Original injury was last weekend so we still have weeks to go.
Can't wear an inflatable cone as she can still reach her foot as we found out yesterday so now we have a fresh new scab.
The cone is big as otherwise she can reach her front foot so she can't have chews
She's short so can only have Lickey matts when she has the boot on otherwise she can't reach with the cone even if I stick them to walls.
Can't scatter feed as same issue.
Can't run play fetch her favorite game or hide toys as she either can't reach with the cone or she's out of my sight for a second getting the boot off
We've learnt so many new tricks and have been sitting in the front garden watching the world go by but she's a very active dog so she's not a fan of this.
She's aridiculously smart and I am running out of ideas
Thankfully she's not mad about food as with the lack of excersise iv had to reduce her meals
Any ideas?
