Both seem to do ok after surgery and we just simply kept an eye on their stitches. Granted the jack russell did chew out her stitches, but fortunately, she was near due for them to be removed anyways.
Our past yorkie girl was a bit on the chunky side, but I can't tell if it's from being spayed or that we just over fed her. ^^;; Probably both. Our Jack russell girl tends to steal treats and stuff anyways and was already kind of overweight at the time.
Ours didn't give anything to keep them from messing with the stitches, so maybe getting some kind of cone (could be the cloth kind too), a playpen/crate to keep her from running around so much, and maybe pajamas if the cone thing doesn't work. Nutri-cal and it wouldn't hurt to have a doggie first aid kit in general. |
Thanks darling. I was looking for the post I saw on here with the soft cones but I didn't bookmark it (kicking myself in the butt lol)
