The no water is for the stitches to heal properly and so that the wound isn't able to open up and get infected....I followed the no water for 14 day rule..lol, because Maximus picked so much at his wound that it wasn't able to heal properly and the vet (not the one who performed surgery)...suggested waiting a couple of days more because it wasn't scabbed up enough...1 word of advice...brush him everyday!!!! Without a bath Maximus got his first ever matt right on his leg....because I was lightly brushing him and not doing his legs well...I was very upset!! |
