Tillie has been itchy recently. We're not sure what's going on - a thorough bath was given today. But yesterday, she decided to work at a spot on her leg and she was pretty determined to work it into a hot spot. We've been down this road before...so we got out our favorite solution for skin irritations, and some corn starch, and the Elizabethan collar. We have an E-collar collection. This one is heavy-duty plastic, a little weighty but very clear - so Tillie doesn't have to suffer more sensory loss. The pipe insulation around the edges prevents them from using the collar to scratch/abrade themselves further, and from using the edge to work the collar off (Tillie views this as an obvious problem to be remedied). She has been surprisingly cooperative with the collar. We've been able to take it off for long periods - all last night while she slept, and most of today. She was VERY good for her bath today - most likely because Mike was involved from start to finish. She is a total Daddy's Girl. We haven't have to replace the pipe insulation on the edges. We will all be glad when Tillie isn't itching any more.
