Elizabethean Collar for Goat?

I'm trying to keep my goats from licking sores. Wondered if anyone had ever used a medical collar like for dogs and cats on a goat.

I've used a plastic coffee can with the end cut out, split open and then duct taped on the goats neck.

I suppose just about anything is better than the cone of shame.

I had a doe who decided she was tasty. Not meningeal worm, not anything hurting her or irritating... I really do think she liked the taste! The only thing that worked was a goat coat. I decided I don't like goats stupid enough to eat themselves, so I slaughtered her. Once she learned how, even with YEARS wearing the coat (and yes I tried t-shirts, the coffee can, and many other contraptions), she still chewed the spot. The spot was so damaged it would heal, but only to a hard callus thing... which she would immediately rip open again if she managed to get the coat caught on the fence and struggle her way out of it.
