I'm sorry, 10-14 days for a neuter sounds like a very long time. Was there any extenuating circumstances that made this surgery more involved (cryptorchid)? Is he on any pain meds?
If he's not on pain meds, and the surgery was a simple neuter, I would just limit any vigorous exercise, like running, jumping on and off furniture, jumping up like to catch a ball, that kind of thing. I don't see where short walks on a leash on the pavement would hurt him. I wouldn't take him through the woods or to a doggy park just yet, till his stitches come out.
I'd also call the vet and verify that you were given correct instructions at discharge... really sounds more of what folks are told after a spay.... |
