An E-collar or cone may be needed after your cat has surgery or if she has a wound. It can prevent your cat from licking their wound or scratching a wound on their head. Your cat should wear the E-collar following the directions provided by your veterinarian. You may need to make a few adjustments in your home to ensure your cat does not get stuck in confined spaces. It is not recommended to let your cat outdoors while she is wearing the collar. Also, you may need to adjust her feeding station to assist with eating. If your cat will not tolerate the E-collar, discuss other options with your veterinarian.

Endocarditis is an infection of a heart valve, most often affecting the mitral or aortic valve. It can arise any time that bacteria enter the bloodstream, though it is more common when the heart valve has already been damaged for some other reason. The clinical signs of endocarditis are often nonspecific in the early stages, but may progress to include signs of heart failure later in the course of the disease. The diagnosis and treatment of endocarditis can present a challenge, requiring multiple tests and prolonged courses of antibiotic therapy.
