Hello. I am so sorry for your worries with Nala, but I see no problems with this incision. It appears to be clean, dry, & free of redness or swelling. Keep the cone on as directed by your veterinarian & healing should continue just fine. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucy. If she can be supervised, it is typically fine to take her cone off for short periods. Otherwise, I recommend that she wears it for a total of 10-14 days when she is unsupervised such as when she is alone or at night. I hope this information helps!
