The Mega Cone is GONE! Post-Surgery with Virgil the LGD

Time for the Mega Cone of Shame to come off! Our livestock guardian dog Virgil’s post-surgery check-up went great and the vet pulled his stitches so it’s time to take the cone off and get our boy back his regular self.

Two weeks ago Virgil went to the veterinarian for a neuter and dewclaw removal. Virgil is a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix; both breeds have double dewclaws on their hind feet. Whatever purpose they once served has largely been lost and at the recommendation of our vet we had them removed. Of course our Virgil is extra-special and it took him about 25 seconds to outsmart his 30cm cone of shame and we had to go back to the vet and get a 40cm cone that we affectionately dubbed “The Mega Cone.”

Side note: Virgil and his Mega Cone kind of blew up on TikTok (7.7 million views and counting). It’s been a crazy couple of weeks!

Virgil is now all healed up and the cone can come off. It’s nice having our boy back and it feels like he’s happier now that he doesn’t have to wear that lampshade anymore. We hope it won’t be too much longer before he gets to move in with the goats 100% of the time!
