Hi Tess and @mela72, welcome! Your future posts won't need to wait for approval so post away. I'm really sorry you're dealing with mast cell cancer but hopefully the amputation will take care of it. Do you know if she needs more chemo?

Anyhoo, to answer your question, it's a little challenging to create a better fit with t-shirts for an incision. Basically you can 1) buy a kid's t-shirt and see how snug you can get it without restricting her movement, or 2) knot up the bottom of the t-shirt to make it snug around her waist, and sew up the empty arm hole. But honestly, a t-shirt alone isn't usually enough to keep a dog from messing with the incision. We recommend using a cone of shame too. 

You can also try a custom amputation surgery recovery suit, or even trying a Tripawd Pride t-shirt from our Tripawds store 😉

Meanwhile let us know what other questions you have. I cannot even imagine how challenging it is to go through amputation recovery during a pandemic! We can hopefully put your mind at ease when you are worried but if you ever feel like you need to call your vet, don't hesitate to do it, that's why they're there for you.

Also, be sure to check out the Tripawds Start Here page for a tour, as well as Jerry's Required Reading List and the Tripawds e-books library for answers to common questions and concerns.

Keep us posted on how she's doing!
