Hi there. You can try using a small T shirt backwards on her so she can still urinate but so her incision is covered. You can also get a collar for her and use a hair tie to secure the e collar to the collar so she can't kick it off. It may also be too big for her, your vet may have some that fit better. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
