One thing we were not expecting was that Dani would need to wear anything special post-op. A spay oPURRation is quite a small incision and only a couple of stitches. However, it was highly recommended that we purchase something to prevent her from chewing or licking them. If the stitches come undone they would require another procedure to replace them (under anesthesia).
... her private area uncovered for carefree visits to the litter box. You can see a bit of her blue tummy bandage underneath the shirt.
So what we were going to do with this useless thing? Why turn it into a toy, of course!
"Is good fur kickin'!" says Dani.
"And fur lickin' ...
... and a' course fur chewin'!"
"Is kinda tasty ackshully" she says while pushing it over the edge.
And then she has to figure out where it went. What a pushycat!
"I has two more fings ta tell you about my Spay 'n Spa Day. Furst, dey stole da furs off my front leg. I jus' thot it wuzza reely bad haircut."
"An' secund, dey giffed me a free pedicure even doe da CLAWS wuzzn't in da contract."
Isn't that just SPA-tacular!
"I mus' say dey reely nailed dat one!"
And what Dani doesn't know is that they gave her a free shot, as well. It's supposed to help her stay infection-free, but apparently it has one little side effect."
"Yahoo! I wanna play, play, play!!!" shouts Dani.
It felt like we had a visit from the Tasmanian Devil.
So, the upshot is that, on this important day, Dani finally realized how much I love her. Even though the body suit was quite a bit more expensive...
... I wasn't going to turn her into a conehead.
"So it wuz a good day aftah all" says Dani. "I gots a luvly noo red body suit, a noo toy (da cone a' course), a free pedacure, lotsa playtime and best of all now I noes fur sure dat Mama luvs me
un-CONE-ditionally!"

gracious girl, that's one spa day you can be thankful for will never occur again; I daresay it brings back memories though I'm happy you got to wear a FABulous body suit; unlike that shameful thing I was forced to wear all those years ago, I agree, use the cone as a toy or an impromptu handbag if mom closes the bottom ~~~~~~ glad all went well, hugs from dai$y =^..*= ♥♥
I think a bodysuit is WAY better than a cone! I actually wore something that looked like a pink life preserver. When I was done with it, my human donated it to a local rescue.
We are happy all went well pretty Dani and that sweater is much better than the cone!
Dani looks cute in her red suit. I will pray she has a speedy recovery. I made my poor Sammy wear a cone for about 3 weeks because he keep reopening a scratch on his ear, then shaking his head and making my house look like a crime scene.
That is a cute body suit! We met a dog today that was wearing it's mom's tee shire backward so she could not get to her surgery site! Her hind legs were in the arms of the shirt. Sht shirt has an OWL on is so Sadie had two big eyes on her butt!
