All About Pets: Jacq in Collar

Yesterday Jacq give everyone in home a big shock. While I was blow drying her after bath, her wound of an operation open up and we can see a hole through it. We thought that the wound supposed to cure already since the operation was in early October. Without thinking anything else, me and mom brought her to the vet and consult the doctor.

According to doctor, there is a light infection on her wound and it causes a big blister. Now that the blister had popped, it exposes her wound but she does not need a new stitch. All she need is some medicine to put on the wound and also taking antibiotics. Most importantly is, prevent her from licking her wound.

The white spot is the wound but covered with the medicine

"Doc, how was we supposed to prevent her from licking?" asked mom. Jacq is a very active puppy and will not easily sit still. Asking her not to lick her wound is a mission impossible. "Well, if that's the case, I'm going to give her a collar support, just like us when we injured our neck. This will prevent her from licking" explained Dr Gilbert. Dr Gilbert is a young doctor who owns the vet and he's the one performs the operation on Jacq.

While we wait patiently for doctor to put on the collar for Jacq, Jacq moves around as she feels uncomfortable with the restricted movement due to the collar. By the way, I named the thing as collar as I do not know what it is call. We could not hold our laughter when we saw Jacq with the collar. She looks like a blossom flower and she's so cute. The doctor even laughs at her. Pity Jacq!

When we reached home, dad was shock to see her wound and comfort her but dad also could not hold his laughter and we ended up laughing away. Not only this, Jacq keep hitting the chairs, tables and almost everything with her collar. When she comes near to me, she even hurt my face with it.

Be patient Jacq. You will need to wear this till your wound is properly healed. Hopefully it will not take whole week.
