In the midst of having to have his Labrador Retriever, Nacho (pictured on the show page), in an Elizabethan collar for an an extended period of time, Dr. Roger shares his empathy with pet owners whose pets and households that have to endure the cone. There is a reason refusal to leave the collar on as directed is one of the top - and one of the most frustrating for veterinarians - owner compliance failures that lead to bad consequences. It is because they are not fun!
Sometimes, E-collars are the only method to keep pets from licking or chewing at wounds, incisions or bandages. However, there are certain circumstances where alternatives to the traditional e-collar work that are less cumbersome to the pet (and pet parent). Unfortunately for Dr. Roger and his dog, alternatives are not workable options for the location and nature of Nacho's wound; but in the midst of his frustration with his very large and not very graceful dog wearing a giant big satellite dish on his head for 2 weeks, he discusses alternatives to the E-collar that are workable in certain situations.
