An E-collar. E stands for Elizabethian.

What ARE you talking about??? There IS no "cover"!
Some may use an "elizabethan COLLAR" but that goes around their NECK!
To get a best result from a crop,the ears can be taped to a cup but...again,that's NOT a "cover".
You need to RESEARCH!!! BEFORE you ruin the crop would be smart,eh?

After the surgery, either 2 or 3 braces (depending on your vet's preference) will be placed on each ear and then the ears will be taped to stand up. Some vets use braces, cups, or popsicle sticks to help the ears to stand. Around the dog's neck will be place an E-collar (Elizabethian collar) so they don't get the bandages off and ruin the crop.
Here are a few sites you can look at about ear cropping:

on the ears or on the neck?
The cone shaped thing is an e-collar/ elizabethan collar.
Commercially made Elizabethan collars, affectionately known as E-collars, are made from hard plastic and are available in various sizes. Some are opaque and, recently, clear E-collars have become available, allowing your dog to see, and maybe, even get around better. These collars are typically available from your veterinarian or neighborhood large pet store.

Yes, it is an Elizabethan Collar.
But I have to put in my two cents as well. Dogs have their ears specifically shaped for their breed. It is fundamental that a dog hears properly, and cropping a dog's ears is a gross mutilation. Generally it is used when you fight dogs. I most certainly hope that is not your intent.

yep, it's an Elizabethan collar or E-collar; I personally prefer the new inflatable ones instead of the hard plastic cone shaped ones. http://www.funstufffordogs.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1132167446

i don't know a cone maybe. Having your dog ears cropped is mutilation i think it is totally wrong. Why would someone deface an animal like that?
