If he is really good about his bath I would do it. He is healed up pretty well internally. If you are really fearful then wait until day 10. I would just watch that he doesn't do anything like drag his butt on the ground. He really can't do any real damage at this point. If he licks the area just let him lick it. He is not going to rip at the incision. It probably itches at this point and a little licking is not going to hurt him. Dogs mouths are quiet clean and they naturally lick their wounds anyway. Once he has licked just distract him with something he likes to do. He has suffered enough. |
