Rooster, you will be fine soon!

That is the face of an innocent pup having the indignity of the cone of shame being placed upon him.

My cat has had to wear a cone several times and I feel claustrophobic just looking at him.

⬇️ Sure! Press here to download it!

At my Vet, they sell soft cones, maybe Rooster would be more comfortable in one of those? Of course, spending money on that depends on just how long he needs to wear it.

Zoe was spayed on Tuesday. I just couldn’t do the cone but put her in a onesie and so far so good.

Many different options for pets to feel comfortable while recuperating. Plastic cones aren't it but vets sell them!

For gawds sakes, get the donut pillow cones!!! Those plastic cones r atrocious & uncomfortable! Donuts double as nice relaxing pillows.

Ohh its the worst thing for them and us There must be soemthing better please gen ALPHA come upo with a better solution

Ahhh, poor buddy! 😯

Oh he did that little slinty eyed thing. So unhappy. 😞

Oh, poor baby! 💕 Give him extra love. 💗

Oh the poor baby 🩵

😂

Oh Rooster you need a Bert. Our Bert, the Weimeriner, pulled our chocolate Lab's cone off every chance he got.

Awww. Poor baby. We all hate the cones. My dog used to bang me in the legs with his. I think he knew it hurt. He got me back for having him wear one.

Poor Rooster. Hope he’s sprung soon!!

Rooster is checking the paint job on the ceiling obvs 🙃

Sad. Use something else.

Oh buddy. 😟

Grandpappa had a similar reaction

Good to know. Kids clothes from a thrift shop are handy too.

He's looking for the signal from the outer space doggos

Dogs....truly the best species. Ever.

Cones are truly Horrifying for our fur babies -- They are needed when they are needed, but I wish someone would find a better alternative than these terribly uncomfortable cones‼️

He’s so precious never let him go 100000/10

Poor baby. 💕

Poor fella!

That snoot tho lbr. 10/10 boopable

This is Ringo. Had to wear a cone once, too. Took him about 7 seconds to get rid of the cone. Ringo: 1 Cone: 0

His human needs to wear one so the dogs knows he can still be a dog. Just saying...

I'm not moving from this spot.

I just found myself talking to your dog. Adorable.

You really know how to hurt a guy

I’m with rooster. Don’t move an inch!

Aw what a sweetie

They sell soft cloth, vinyl, and pillow kind of cones now. The pillow kind saved us, just in case Rooster continues having problems with that cone.

Aw that's so sad. ☹️ Do hold he adjusts quickly or he's going to have a very sore neck.

You can get a flexible, net like one on Amazon that Rooster will probably prefer. He's cute!

😒 He's going to get a sore neck.

Poor guy

Poor lad. Somebody put that on and show him.

We ended up not needing one after our Freya got spayed. I highly recommend a donut collar or something like that. Poor Rooster.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Awww

Amazon sells the blow up ones that are soft and just as effective

Oh the trauma!

Awe can he wear a onzie or shorts

Obi feels your pain….

Poor baby

Oh sweetie, it’s gonna be okay. My poodle got his off right quick. Got it off & threw it across the floor.

It could be worse, Rooster.

Been there, done that, Rooster. I sported that same look during COVID (when I didn’t have my mask.) 😉

Are you kidding? Rooster is an amazing actor, seen here playing the part of a lamp!

He looks high.

He is precious!

Yeah, my dog would just freeze like that as well. She did not like it one bit. Fortunately she seriously hated the taste of Bitter Apple spray, so I was able to substitute that in most cases.

Oh, she figured out how to escape the cone within hours, after that, it didn't matter how we secured it, she would escape it. Finally gave up and she never bothered the ear injury it was meant to protect.

😄😁😆😂😅🤣

If Kingsley would’ve kept the cone of shame on for just a little while longer, he would’ve figured out a technique for getting food. This is his main goal in life, lol. 🦮❤️

My beagles have had to wear cones a couple of times. They literally just chew them off.

You now rule Elizabethan England. Your Majesty is correct to maintain superior posture.

🤣

You're welcome. This caught my eye today. 😄 bsky.app/profile/moos...

JFYI, they make soft ones that work well and are way more comfortable.

Poor baby!

Something to do with his cock-a-doodle-doo?

Poor baby. 🐶🥺

I love his name....

Awe, man! I feel the same way. Today, I started using an inhaler. Feeling just like Rooster. 🥴

Poor Rooster ☹️💔 🐶

Hold your head up. No shame to get healthy. Good boy!

Such a good boy! Instant lawn statue

After all this time you'd think the animal medical world would come up with something better that fitting dogs and cats with megaphones.

Soo adorable!

Awwww

There are inflatables for the same purpose that can go around Rooster's neck which would be more comfortable.

Rooster's listening to alpha centauri, a suddenly discover benefit to the cone of shame.

I did the same thing when I had to wear one after my vasectomy. Drove me nuts.

He is waiting for you to leave so he can take it off. I've never owned a dog that would wear them. Turn your back for 5 seconds, it's off. Why not use a surgical onesie instead?

aww bless him ❤️❤️

The soft collars work well. For leg surgery/wounds, get a sleeve that covers the leg - no radar dome needed. I got lucky: my dog doesn't bother her surgery incisions (she's had a bunch), so I remove the cone as soon as I get home and just keep an eye on her.

I had a long haired German. Yours looks like a lion!

Donut pillow rings. Much better!!!

😿

Aww, pup…

Have you considered a soft collar? They are soft, don’t impede their vision, and are easy for them to sleep in. It was a game changer for my cat after surgery; the cone freaked him out!

And he definitely wants you to know how stupid and uncomfortable it is.

I wish it a permanent and efficient recovery

Jesus, that poor snake plant

Poor guy. 😕

Zen master.

If the cone becomes difficult to attach & remove quickly & comfortably for Rooster, try Velcro with a sticky backing. Handsome boy!

“Just drop the food down.”

Hang in there Rooster. Gotta love ❤️ #dogs

The power of the "stay" command...

Yes. Also, a human neck pillow works too.

Good boy Rooster. Hang in there

Our dog knocked over so much stuff that we bought him a soft pillow-like cone. He actually could sleep. p.s. Rooster is sweet!

The LOOK!!

calmly indignant…”I’m not moving until you remove this embarrassing whatever it is!”

looks ready to receive a transmission...

Poor little guy! Imagine how you'd feel in his place.

Poor baby lol

Get him a soft cone, they are much more comfortable

Xena pouted all day. Our border collie's lasted 3 yrs. He absolutely trashed it and I ended up taking it off & just yelling at him to leave it.

Same. My senior dog wouldn’t move until I took it back off. After so long of him standing like a statue I couldn’t take it anymore and let him out of it. He was a good boy and didn’t mess with his stitches from a small tumor removal on his butt.

😂

Rooster is so handsome ❤️

Exactly…cones are Inhumane..they’re Options..

We used a pool noodle And it worked just fine.
