DIY: Collar isabelino para #gatos y #perros | ¡Sistema a prueba de escapistas! 🐶🐱🔔

This is humiliating, but I'm going to teach you how to do it to your cat and your dog. Hi, I'm Carlos, a clinical veterinarian at Small Animals. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Today I bring you the genuine caller of shame. Surely, if you have a pet, at some point you've had to use something like this that seems like an invention of the devil or the veterinarian, in this case, to completely take away the dignity of your dog or cat. But there are some occasions when we have to use it in an unavoidable way. We normally use the Elizabethan collar when your dog or cat has undergone some type of surgery. For example, we use it so that they don't get to the stitches, lick them or remove them. But it's not just in those circumstances, because sometimes, for example, if they have a wound that they've gotten while walking in the park or if they've hurt their nail, we choose to use an Elizabethan collar so that they can't constantly lick themselves and infect the wound because their saliva carries a lot of bacteria and that can prevent the wound from healing. But if they hurt their nail, they can't get to it with the collar. We choose the most appropriate collar so that they don't get to it. In fact, there are times when they have to wear these bells so that they don't get to it. The discomfort of having that screen around their head and not having good control over it makes them want to constantly take it off their head. And if it's not properly secured, they can end up taking it off by licking the wound or even causing a bigger damage. That's why, although we, the veterinarians, are responsible for punishing your dog or cat with a collar, there are times when you're at home and suddenly you come home and find it removed, and you have to go to extremes because you don't know how to put it back on. It's complicated to put it back on the cat's body to prevent the collar from coming back on over the head. The other day while I was at work, a client came to me a little desperate because she had a cat that had been operated on and spayed, so the stitches were still fresh and she had taken off her Elizabethan collar. She asked me if there was any type of bodysuit or garment that could be worn tightly around her cat's body to prevent her from licking the stitches. I usually advise against bodysuits because cats don't like wearing anything that's too tight on their Bodies, they also find them very uncomfortable, can start fighting and it can even be counterproductive. So I had to explain to her right away how to put on an Elizabethan collar to avoid her having to bring my cat to the doctor's office because she said she got very nervous. And from that recommendation came this advice that I bring you today. I'm going to start by explaining how to put the collar on a dog because it's the easiest part. Dogs usually fight less against the Elizabethan collar and are more comfortable with whatever we put on them. Poor things. Cats are a bit more non conformist and when we put something on them they tend to struggle quite a bit. So if you don't have it on properly, it could pull it off over their head. So we're going to start by trying it on a volunteer pointer dog. You can't say no, right? Stay until the end because after showing you how to put it on the pointer dog, I'm going to explain how to do it on a real dog, which Pocho volunteered for you. And I'm also going to explain how to do it on a cat, Meelu, who you already know. Let's see if it lets you. I hope so. First of all, although you'll probably have it closed already because we, the vets are the ones who put it in the clinic. I'm going to explain to you how to close this evil instrument. Well, there are several types. The most common ones are these that have a longer strip which is the strip that closes, but there are some others that have some hooks here and then you fasten them directly, which are a little shorter or have some small tabs here. This is the model we have right now and it's the one I'm going to explain it to you with, which is perhaps the most difficult. There are things you have to look at before closing it first. The part where the long strip is has to be on top of the other part. If you do it the other way around, it won't close. So like this, the part where the long strip is on top and you have to pass this strip in such a way that you pass it inside and outside. You pass it inside, take it out at the top, pass it again at the bottom and take it out at the top again. The extra part here has a little eyelid so you can put it inside. And you have now closed the funnel. It is now closed. Of course you have to close it before putting it on the dog because if you try to close it with the dog's Neck in the middle. I can tell you that you won't be able to. These strips, which are also long, are also meant to be closed on themselves, which is much easier. And here, and here you can see the years of experience. We are going to pass the sophisticated fastening mechanism that we usually use for this type of collar through these eyelets, which is nothing more than a gauze bandage for dogs. It is usually enough that it is attached to the neck. You don't need to make big knots so that the dog cannot remove the collar. And what you have to do is pass it logically through here, as if it were a belt on a pair of pants. There you have it. And now what you have to do is put it over your head. Your poor dog. It will seem to you that at first it may not fit much. In this case it may be a little small for the model we have. But hey, it fits. You don't have to squeeze. You don't have to squeeze your dog's head so much. We're going to give him the number, the corresponding number. This is the theory. This is the theory. Please don't call Animal Protection. You see the total loss of dignity that our model has. And now we have the ends with which we have to hold it down here. For a dog, it's enough to make a knot here. But how do you have to make the knot really tight? Right, because you'll choke him. For your dog to be comfortable, you have to fit a finger under the gauze bandage. If you can fit a finger under the gauze bandage, you'll give the dog enough space so that it's not too tight. And with that finger that you can fit under the gauze bandage, you're going to make it tight enough so that it doesn't come out over his head. I foresee choking hem. It's very simple. As I said, you put your finger underneath and make a knot like this, more or less. You see, your finger fits and it's already secured. That space you have means it's not too tight. And it also means it can't come out over the head. Obviously. Don't leave any extra space too long, because if you do, he'll step on it and you can cut it off. Now we're going to move from theory to practice and see how this works with Pocho Pocho. Are you going to make it easy for me? As I said, there's no mystery to this, because dogs let you without any problem. You make a knot here in front, and that's it. Passing your finger underneath here without tightening it too much. Very good. Yes, yes. And that's enough. If he can't get the collar off over his head, we've done it well, as you can see, it's quite simple with a dog. Now we're going to make it a little more difficult and we're going to do it with a cat. Okay. For the model, we're going to continue using the dog. I don't know, it doesn't have a name. People can name the dog in the comments. Well, I think it's a good idea. If you want to name our model, you can leave it in the comments of the video. Let's imagine it's a cat. Don't worry. Now with my look, it'll be completely clear. For a cat, the bandage you have to put on is a little longer than the one I told you. For the dog, if you try to attach only the collar and the leash to a cat's neck, as I showed you with a dog, the most normal thing is that it will take it off. It will find a way push with its front paws, with its back paws, and in the end it will end up taking it off. Because cats are expert escape artists and they don't like having anything on top of them. The that's how they are. Well, I think this length will do it. It looks like I'm going to tie up a boat, but believe me, it's necessary. And now, if it lets us, let's see it with Meelou. As I explained to you, in the case of the dog, the gauze bandage has to be on before you put the Elizabethan collar on its head, because if you mess around later putting it on. Once you have it on its head, you won't be able to. You have to tie a knot around its neck. Up until now, everything is the same as with the dog. Once you have tied the knot here under the neck, you don't have to cut the excess ends, you have to pass them under the paws. I recommend that the cat has its paws resting on the table because it will be much easier. And here at the back, you tie another knot. I don't know if you can see where this is going. What we are doing is like a kind of harness. Again, here at the back of the knot, you have to put your little finger in a little. To avoid tightening it too much. You close this knot here at the back. The advantage of putting the Elizabethan collar on at home is that your cat will be much more relaxed than in the doctor's office. Are we done? Well, no, because cats can still take it off from here. I recommend that you pass these ends towards the neck and tie another knot here. And now it is completely closed. This is very, very complicated for your cat to take off, even if it pushes with its paws or anything, because if it pulls on this knot, this part here behind will come forward and it will not be able to pass under the armpits. And the dog does not need to do any of this to it. Well, there are dogs that are very, very, very special that try to escape, but normally the dog only needs to be put around its neck. If you see that your dog is very escapist, you can also use this type of system. In any case, I'm not responsible for the integrity of your hands. I know your cat may end up biting you in order to defend itself. I mainly thought of this video because it could be very practical if your cat has a really bad time going to the vet. Dogs don't usually have trouble, but there are also some dogs that don't like going to the vet if it's a situation that can be easily solved at home because as you can see, it doesn't require knowledge of quantum physics, but is simply a matter of tying a knot well tied. Well, if you can solve it and help your pet, why wouldn't you do it? Cats and dogs, for example, after surgery, you take them home. They spend the whole day a little groggy from the sedation, and when they get a little more restless and start struggling with the Elizabethan collar, it's usually at night. In the end, you find yourself in the middle of the night alone and helpless because your cat has just taken off the Elizabethan collar and you don't know how to put it on or fasten it to your body.

The user has missed the Question of the Week section and asks you a question for the question of the week. So, well, exceptionally a it's not Like, I'm going to return to the section for the question of the week. Are you single? You're so handsome. Record their faces. Their faces. Their faces. One. Their faces. Well, I'm not going to talk about my personal life here, because for this I need an exclusive or a cover, a magazine or something. Well, at least I have to thank you for the handsome part. Well, I think you owe it to your followers. Uh, those questions need to be answered. Well, we're going to do a Patreon or people like that who pay more on YouTube and they're all tell you all the things. Aside from that, you've had more comments of love. Oh, how great. Phew. Phew. What delicious jackal feet. I see. I hope it's good because of this phew thing, because I really don't understand the jackal feet thing. Explain to me a little bit about this jackal feet thing because you've left me speechless. What? I was going to take off my glasses and I can't. Sure. Here. Oops, they're falling off. Why am I so good at tying knots? What a mental note. Bringing scissors would have been perfect. Now what do I do? My voice will sound really booming, right? Very fresh, very short. Do you find the video interesting or what? Yes. I don't know how the English say it. It's funny because I think people don't know this can exist. Uh, it's a bit overwhelming. I'm telling you. You feel like you have a diving suit here next to your head. I understand that dogs are overwhelming. Very good. This guy. We would give you a treat, but we can't. He has an upset stomach. Ugh, how delicious he is standing up. You've left me with a crooked ass. A bird just pooped on me. The liquid from above spilled on me.
