Those collars are really funny looking but they sure do work. A co-worker of mine had to put one one one of her Aussies when she got in a fight with one of her other Aussies and got a bad bite on the back. She kept pulling the stitches out so into the collar she went.
You know I told you about Dalton and his horse R.L. earlier on and how R.L. got a really bad cut on his head and they thought he was going to die. Well you can't exactly put a collar on a horse, well you can, they make a wooden cradle for their necks, but that doesn't keep them from rubbing their wound on stuff. So Dalton had to crosstie R.L. in his stall for about 3 months. He kept rubbing his head and busting it open again. Dalton even had to 3-way cross tie him because with just 2 he could somehow hook his neck around and scratch his wound on the chains. Poor thing. But he didn't hold it against Dalton and really seems to love him. I guess he knew that Dalton was just trying to help him.
