@thebiglybestestdoggie: Just when it seemed I was on the road to recovery, woke up one morning and realized something wasn’t right. All the progress made since surgery seemed to have disappeared, and I was in a lot of pain. Went back to the doctor, and discovered I had developed an infection. Looks like I’ll be wearing this cone for a while…
One step forward, two steps back…
~Hey, friends. Jett’s recovery process has been nothing short of frustrating and challenging, but here’s to hoping for better days ahead. Hope you are all doing well. We’ve missed you!~
comically quirky 
I’m so sorry to hear about Jett’s infection!! Poor baby! I hope that he gets better soon! xx

Oh yes. Sounds like it’d make for a great horror story title, doesn’t it? At least, from a doggie’s perspective 😛

Poor Jett, hope he gets better soon. Maybe a couple of doggie treats might make his cone wearing days more bearable.

Awww no, poor Jett. Two steps forward one step back. I’m glad they’ve figured out the issue with the infection, hopefully they can get that under control and he’ll start seeing some improvements soon. The days of wagging tails are just around the corner hopefully ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Thanks! A cone of shame is no fun for anyone… not for the poor doggie, and not for the poor humans who are unwittingly having huge chunks of skin ‘exfoliated’ with each accidental collision with said cone. 😛

I know, I know. We put traditional cones of shame to shame with this horrifying two-tiered getup. Hopefully not too much longer until he can be free of it, and back on the road to recovery

And hopefully, in the meantime, he’s not outdoors when there is a gust of wind. “Come back, Jet, come back!”

Are you kidding? It has been so windy here, I would’ve been terrified of that cone catching a big gust and Jett blowing away Wizard of Oz style, if not for the fact that he is still restricted to leash-only outdoor activity. Whew! 😛

Sorry to hear about Jett’s complications. It happens sometimes. 😦 Now he’ll have cone-wearing AND pill-taking to contend with. I’ve heard Pill Pockets do a good job of hiding pills, turning them into a “treat.” My dog, however, was too smart for that ruse. He’d eat the pocket part and leave the pill on the floor. LOL. He takes a horse pill every day now, a joint supplement. Willingly. Because he gets a slice of American cheese if he cooperates.

Funny you should mention Pill Pockets… Jett has developed an addiction to the peanut butter ones. 😛 We ask him if he is ready for a Peanut Butter, and he eagerly downs his medications. It might just be the highlight of this whole ordeal for him

Pill Pockets don’t work with Tailor. He knows how to extract the pill and eat the good part. I don’t have to trick him now, though. He’s a very cooperative pill-taker as long as there is cheese in the offing. It must be American, though. He turns his nose up to real cheese like cheddar. 🙂
