cone of shame 

The plastic cone-shaped protective collar that a veterinarian puts on a dog or cat to prevent them from licking or pawing at an area of their body while it's healing from an injury or surgery. Also referred to as an Elizabethan collar (or e-collar), because of its similarity to the collars worn in Elizabethan dress.
