Have any of you tried this? I just went out for a TINY bit and this little weasel wormed her way out of the onesie! I can't put the e-collar on her she just gets too depressed. The pet shop says an xsmall will fit a kitty. Thanks!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

i have one for my dogs. my male will use it but Sassy has figured out if she rolls on her back and wiggles she can pull her head out of it. So I can say it works well for one dog but not the other LOL.

We had one of those for Cadence for each of her surgeries. She would freak out with the one the vet gave her so we found one at Pet Express. She has never gotten out of it. I think she knew if she tried any funny stuff, she would have gotten stuck wearing the other one. Ours is not as nice as that one but it was a lifesaver for us.

I bought a similar one for Hank. It did good for the one night he used it.

We've been told that animals with shorter snouts will get along with this product just fine, while those with more pronounced schnozolas like greyhounds and shepherds will be able to get around it and mess with sutures.
