It really depends on the dog. I work in a vet clinic and sometimes it does a lot of good for the dog to see its family and other times, it can make things worse. I'm sure you really want to see him but if he's doing okay and doesn't seem depressed, I would say don't visit. A lot of times, they will get really excited and anxious after their family leaves and if he's just had major surgery, you don't want him upset and jumping around. If he's depressed, then a visit may do him good. I would talk to the vet or techs that have been taking care of him and ask them what they think. I hope he's feeling better soon. |
