I decided to have it removed. <br />The incision was 7 inches long with lots of staples. She wore one of those e-collar cones for a few days and her and I both hated the thing. The minute I took it off she would go for the staples. I tried a t-shirt and she licked it wet at the site of the staples. I decided to try the Thunder shirt. It is like magic. She is calmer and not stressed about her incision at all while she wears it. Even though it is just cloth like a t-shirt amazingly she hasn't tried to lick it through the shirt. If I take it off to give her a rest from it and put the cone on her head, she whines and tries to get at the incision until I put the Thunder shirt back on. She wore the shirt all night and never bothered the stapled area. I was amazed. I kept getting up checking on her through the night and she slept peacefully and never touched the site of the incision. I will be sure to mention how well the Thunder shirt worked for Bella to the vet when she gets her staples out. Maybe the Thunder shirt can help another pet after surgery not have to wear that awful e-collar and be more relaxed. In our case the shirt covered her incision. The shirt probably has to cover the incision to keep them from bothering the site, but even if it doesn't it could help with general anxiety with having any procedure even if they have to wear the e-collar, too.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006240031535417308.post-92030744078336616172016-01-18T11:21:08.513-05:002016-01-18T11:21:08.513-05:00My dog wears his shirt 24 hours a day.

She is on pain meds and we are being as careful with her as we possibly can, carrying her down steps, etc. I ordered a Thundershirt, hoping it might make her feel a little more comfortable and stop her from trying to jump and "wiggle" which makes her back pain worse. After 2 days, so far so good. I put it on her in the mornings and leave it on all day. She seems to like having it on and it has calmed her down quite a bit. Only time will tell how effective it really is, but for now I'm very optimistic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006240031535417308.post-55464671404511005562011-07-15T14:14:42.409-04:002011-07-15T14:14:42.409-04:00Thank you so much.

After I posted my reply I realized you had posted the website so I spent some time reading all about the product and watching the videos.

We will be a great resource for you and Sweet Pea when you make the move. Make sure to look us up for all your grooming, boarding, and daycare needs! We would love to meet Sweet Pea. Come take a tour and decide if we are right for you.<br /><br />Regarding the Thundershirt-in all my research on it, I have never heard of a time constraint concerning how long a dog can wear it, but just to make sure I called up Thundershirt and asked them directly. I'm happy to report that there is no time limit. In fact, they told me some dogs wear the shirt everyday, all day! So just determine what seems right for you and Sweet Pea and good luck with the move!Morris Animal Innhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294250639228177495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006240031535417308.post-38016908423954206152011-07-14T21:45:18.332-04:002011-07-14T21:45:18.332-04:00My husband and I are moving to NJ (from CA) and wi...My husband and I are moving to NJ (from CA) and will be living somewhere in the Morristown vicinity. My 3-year old wire fox terrier, Sweet Pea, is a mess around loud noises - she shakes uncontrollably. Being in the car is especially difficult on the freeway with semis and/or buses. We are planning to drive across the country in order to avoid the trauma of flying (the noise would be horrible for her). I'm thrilled to learn about the Thundershirt!! It would be a God-send if it helps Sweet Pea stay calmer.<br /><br />We could acclimate her in advance of the week-long journey so she is comfortable in the shirt, but are there restrictions on how long she could wear it in a single time-span? We will be driving approximately 600 miles per day or about 8 hours a day.<br /><br />I anxiously await your reply. And thank you again!!<br /><br />Beth Thomas-KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006240031535417308.post-3229624652191528112011-07-11T09:32:34.232-04:002011-07-11T09:32:34.232-04:00Renee- I totally understand, it was not easy to ge...Renee- I totally understand, it was not easy to get it on the first 2 times because there are so many velcro straps, you really have to study the diagram that comes with it to make sure you do it right. But I would definately recommend putting it on Mocha when he is calm and happy, like perhaps his feeding time. Thundershirt Co. insists the shirt is made of thin, breathable fabric but definately judge it for yourself. If MochaMan is panting way too much with the shirt on, I would take it off.
