Yesterday I literally spent hours calling every single vet, pet store and animal shelter in Virginia Beach looking for a soft e-collar instead of the hard plastic one she was wearing. With the hard one on she really wasn't even mobile because it stuck out at least 2 inches beyond her snout. She couldn't climb the stairs, get a drink or even fit into her crate, her "safe place". She was acting depressed and disoriented. Personally, I don't know how she was able to see through the clear patterned plastic either. 
I wanted to do everything I could to make Sadie more comfortable so I asked our vet for an alternative solution. She actually recommended the soft e-collar to me, but didn't have any in stock that would be large enough for Sadie. I found a company in Florida that would overnight one to me for a pretty penny. It was money well spent because I noticed the difference in Sadie immediately. She's able to move around the house and she was even playing with one of her favorite new toys which happens to be Sophia's Halloween souvenir from our trip to the Zoo. The ladybug has officially become Sadie's possession.
You can see that Sadie is healing quite nicely now.
