An Elizabethan collar, shaped like a truncated cone, is worn by a pet, usually a cat or dog, to prevent it scratching a wound on its head or neck or licking a wound or infection on its body. While purpose-made collars can be purchased from Veterinarian s or pet stores, they can also be made from plastic and cardboard or by using plastic flowerpots, wastebaskets or buckets. The device is attached to the pet's usual Collar with strings or tabs passed through holes punched in the sides of the plastic. The neck of the collar should be short enough to let the dog eat and drink. Although most pets adjust to them quite well, others won't eat or drink with the collar in place and the collar is temporarily removed for meals. {Link without Title} The collars were named after the ruff worn by people in Elizabethan Times , that is the late sixteenth century in England. |
