Hi and thank you for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Even under supervision, animals that are recovering come surgery can bother their incision site, so it is preferred and advised that the e collar stays on her for the specified time indicated by your veterinarian or unless told otherwise by your vet. Having it on her at all times lessens the chance of agitating the incision site and prolonging healing times. Hope this helps and I hope Blossom has a swift recovery!
