Elizabethan collar

Shaped like a truncated cone, its purpose is to prevent the animal from biting or licking at its body or scratching at its head or neck while wounds or injuries heal.

[2] The device is generally attached to the pet's usual collar with strings or tabs passed through holes punched in the sides of the plastic.

Modern collars might involve soft fabric trim along the edges to increase comfort and velcro surfaces for ease of attachment and removal.

These are usually secured to the neck of an animal by the use of a cotton padding roll through small loops at the base of the cone.

Made with synthetic plastic that is suitable for inflating, these collars completely restrict the movements of the animals from reaching an affected area.

[4] In addition to medicine such as ointments and pills, Elizabethan collars are necessary when dealing with an animal that is suffering from an allergy reaction.
