I'd dump that unless he's really obsessed with licking the area. We've never needed it with any of our dogs after surgery.
He looks happy to be back home and I'm sure by tomorrow your challenge is going to be keeping him somewhat quiet.

Unfortunately he has to wear it unless I can watch him. He will literally do circles trying to lick himself. I was doing dishes and he was in the other room licking. Wound looks good though. So maybe just a few more days of the dreaded cone. My previous dog never needed the cone either. Jasper is a drama queen.

There are two types of dogs ...
These dogs have the neighbor lady trained. As soon as Moose see's her out there, he zooms to the back of the fence and sits there pathetically until she comes over with treats. Even Rubie gets in on the trick and treat action.

I brought home the survivor of rat attacks that hatched yesterday. Six eggs were in the nest. One didn't hatch, one hatched and immediately went missing (most likely a rat) and three eggs were broken (most likely rats). He's a day old and since he's alone, Jeri named him Uno.

Yes, he's thriving. I raise ducklings that for whatever reason need help. They're abandoned by their mothers, pecked by the chickens, eaten by rats, whatever reason. Two years ago the mother took her ducklings and abandoned the nest. The next day a left behind egg hatched. It was too tiny to keep up with mom and her siblings, so I raised it as well. It's easy to do. Keep them warm until they start getting feathers, then I put them in the pond during the day and make sure they're warm and dry at night.
I made this video just after I brought him home. He was still wobbly and is walking normal now. He's very fast and can scoot around the cage avoiding my hand.

Ripley had her first vet exam today and she was fantastic. Weighs 20lbs at 12 weeks (tomorrow). She gave everyone lots of kisses and a million nub wags. We stopped at Tractor Supply (and then Lowes) afterwards for some more positive socialization and multiple people stopped us to say hi to her and were so friendly. Even met another Doberman person who is on their 10th! She gave lots of free kisses and really made peoples day!
How cute is this? At the vet office in her exam room.
Oh hi there.
A good puppy is a tired puppy! Result of pure mental stimulation!

Do you ever have to get them a friend? I had a singleton chick last year and he did ok alone, we put stuffed chickens in with him and a mirror for him to admire himself. But he really perked up when we added 3 others 2 weeks later. There was lots of crying out loud for us before we added more chicks.Yes, he's thriving.

Only one person so my husband went in.
She looks like she's up to no good with hers not even in front of her and Albert looking indifferent.
Oh that would be so nice! It must vary from state to state but no one is allowed inside here. That said, they would let us in one at a time to use the restroom at the U of M, but it's a big place and it was just in the lobby area.
Ripley is so darn cute!

There are a few vets that don't allow any one in here too so I think it may just be from practice to practice.
I had to zoom in on my phone to see what that was in front of Phoebe....it liked like puke!
Must be a furry toy or something.

I finally got to meet our friends dogs yesterday!
Hank is a love bug
So this was interesting: Greta is a 9 year old Cane Corso (adopted at 6 mos old from a dog fight situation). She prefers to be ignored so no worries there, we just pretended we didn't see her when we got there. Within 15 minutes, she was on her back asking me for belly rubs. Unheard of, apparently. We went outside where it was hot so I put my hair up and she immediately seemed very suspicious of me. Later, she would come over and sit in front of me (I was on the floor) and she put a paw up to invite chest scratches but she was kinda rumbling/purring? They said that's not something she usually does. At one point I got up and she followed and kinda acted like she wanted to hold me in my location. I avoided eye contact and they called her she turned right around. I never felt uncomfortable and gave her all the space she wanted and only interacted with her when she came up to me but she went from pretty accommodating to a little suspicious .. all because I put up my hair!?
She doesn't seem too concerned here, though!
