Getting spayed is a bit more invasive than dogs getting the snip.
We had Phoebe done and we didn't need the cone / donut at all, mostly because the wound on a female dogs stomach is easily covered with a self adhesive dressing generally. They left that on until she went back for a checkup a week or so later.
We had no real issues with her trying to lick even after they took it off, the main issue was stopping her jumping on/off the sofa or bed etc and running about too excitedly.
That and the post op meds they gave us for her gave her the runs something chronic, we stopped giving her them after a few days

Crumpet's getting spayed next week. Any advice from people who've been through it before?
Edit: well, I guess advice from anyone who's dog's been through it before...
