My female, Malley was spade 8 days ago and it took about a week for her to be her "old, crazy" self. First few days they are so tired that they sleep. In lieu of a cone, I used a belly band on her and it keeps the stitches covered and free from coming in contact with anything. It beats wearing a cone for 2 weeks! My yorkie is very energetic and I carry her up/down steps and try to keep her from jumping off furniture as much as possible. I check the stitches to make sure that everything looks normal. |
