Thanks Lisa, that's sounds very similar to my experience with medical collars as well.
My brother said they have two collars now. Outside they put on the white one. He said he can see all the fun stuff through the clear one and wants to play. The white one helps block some of the enticing distractions.

Poor Frankie - I love the pics of him, my daughter said he looks sad.
I hope he heals quickly.
He does look sad, doesn’t he. His little brow is all furled. It can’t be a fun time for him. But he’s well on his way to recovery.
Here’s a better picture my brother sent before the surgery. He loves riding in the cab of his truck and he gets to go everywhere. Tell your daughter he’ll only be sad for a little while and back to a happy boy real soon here.

I think it depends 100% on the individual dog whether the hard coneheads collars are traumatic. I have seen it cause what I would call real distress. I used it for a short time (post surgery) on a small foster dog who hyperventilated and ran into a corner as soon as it was on, stumbling around frantically. What happened sounds funny, I know, but it wasn't at the time: she suctioned herself briefly onto the wall with her hyperventilating near the wall. Believe me, that collar came off as soon as I could grab her.
I switched her to an infant nightgown that I rigged shut below the sutures, but that was not very successful and I had to stay near her for a couple of days until the sutures weren't driving her to licking anymore.

Connie, I so agree. It seemed like quite a simple, familiar situation when I posted but if you would have heard the concern in my mom’s voice, that bump into the wall was not a good thing.
I think Frankie is the kind of dog that’s going to do just fine with it. He’s extremely laid back and just kind of takes things as they come. I emailed my brother about maybe making it a bit shorter and this is what he wrote back:
“He sits and rolls his butt forward and can almost get to his feet so I don’t think I want to make it any shorter.”
Not sure exactly what that means or how any other collar would work for him; but, he’s 100% supervised right now and I know they’re paying attention to the smallest details, making sure he’s as comfortable as he possibly can be.
And thanks for those alternative collar links. I've written down the names for future reference should we ever be faced with a need for one again.
