<p class="MsoNormal">Oliver had a tumor removed from his ear today.<span style=""> </span>In order to ensure “margins” around the spot,
his incision is pretty big.<span style=""> </span>As a result,
he has to wear an e-collar to protect the incision.<span style=""> </span>I have not had any experience with e-collars.<span style=""> </span>He seems to have a hard time walking because
he is so close to the ground and the collar catches on the carpet.<span style=""> </span>I am not sure if he can eat in it – He is
still loopy and not interested in food or water.<span style=""> </span>I need advice on how to make him comfortable.<span style=""> </span>He is supposed to wear it for 2 weeks (we
will see about that).<span style=""> </span>But I want to take
care of my big smooshy guy.<span style=""> </span>Momma is a little
shell-shocked right now and would appreciate advice.<span style=""> </span>You can post to the Drool or email me at <a href="mailto:oahiggins@hotmail.com">oahiggins@hotmail.com</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oliver and I thank you for any input you have.<span style=""> </span>I plan to keep him confined while I am at
work, at least until he gets used to it.<span style="">
</span>We get biopsy results next week, but already know it is a “suspicious”
spot.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>

in mind)</p>
