rascalsmom Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Is there any alternative to an e-collar for an eye problem? Buddy's got a corneal abrasion, and will have to see the specialist. Buddy's eye I am afraid they will tell me to put the dreaded lampshade on him. He freaks when this is put on, and I would LOVE to avoid it if at all possible....

Sadly, I don't think the Bite-Not collar would work for an eye injury. But you could ask the vet to provide you with a clear 'lampshade' instead of an opaque one. Sometimes greyhounds do a little better with those. Quote The plural of anecdote is not dataBrambleberry Greyhounds My Etsy Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't think a Bite-Not would work either, but maybe the soft e-collar would help Buddy not to freak out.

rascalsmom Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 The e-collar that I have here IS a clear one....any tips on how to keep them on? Every time I've tried to use one it ends up slipping over the ears....it's hard to get them to stay on those skinny greyhound heads! Good news is, I am taking him at noon TODAY to see the specialist, instead of Monday! Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13.
