Best alternative to cone of shame

[toomanylogs]

Our boy has a wound on the inside of his left rear leg that he keeps licking.

He needs to wear a cone until it heals but he just keeps getting out of the one provided by the vet and we struggle to get it back on.

Any recommendations for something that would be more comfortable and hopefully more Houdini proof?

Thanks

Would one of these be any easier? They're soft, so a bit more flexible.

Thank you, on the shopping list!

Not helpful but poor boy 😻

Buster inflatable collar.
Game changer.👍

Poor lad. Little Tennyson spent 7 hours getting the cone of shame off and was disgusted when I took him back to the vet the next morning to have it refitted. He went onto the coffee table and moved a load of paperwork off it using his cone. For the next two weeks he exacted his revenge but he didn't try to remove it again.

Thank you!

He's just spent the last 24 hours at the vets, you'd think he would just be grateful to be home and put up with it...

Just be very sure that it actually does stop them. Legs are easier to reach than other areas and the 'nicer' comfier cones are less restrictive.

We are having a nightmare with a wound on our cat's front leg which he can reach with anything except the biggest hard cone (which also doesn't work because he bashes it into the wound).

He also got used to the cone within a few days.

A back leg should be easier to protect but it's better to have a sad cat with a big uncomfortable cone than a cat with a wound that keeps reopening and getting worse rather than better.
