My dog's spay cone is torn. Does she still need it after 10 days?

Question

Our 1 year old German Shepherd got spayed last 3/27 and we had placed a cone on her. Going on about a 1-1/2 weeks now and the cone is now totally torn. Would we still need to buy and put another on her? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 142 lbs

Her incision should be healed by now so you should not need another cone. I would take that one off while you are home and make sure she's not licking the area. Distract her if she does, and if there are stitches and she's still going after them then you may need to get another cone and leave it on longer.
