The cone is for 3-4 wks. I have been taking it off for his meals but since he tries to scratch right after eating, it goes right back on. I’m hoping after next week’s visit, we will start tapering back on the meds. He gets 3-4 sets of eyedrops every 2 hours. The oral steroids are twice a day for several days, then once a day, then every other, just like for people. One of my old lady friends said your dog sounds like me! We’re on meds for the same things! I said he is loved, just like you.
I can’t imagine how annoying it would be to have a thing like that around my neck, and walk on four legs as well-I’d be plotting a way to rip it to shreds.
