So even her stretching in her pen can cause an infection? I can't keep her from doing that, lol. She'll stretch up and try to get you to let her out when you walk by even, which is hard but I know I'm doing this for her own good. She's been walking up and down the steps since the day after her surgery...so I'm guessing that was completely wrong? Now I'm worried.
I really thought it was just about LIMITING her activity not stopping it alltogether, even the vet said, "do the best you can" because Bella is not one to just sit on her hind end and not do anything, lol. I'm so confused on what to do...like I said from 8am till around 5pm she's in her pen and only let out for about an hour around lunch to wander around and play. Then from about 5pm until around 8 or 9 at night she's allowed to walk around, play with her toys and climb all over us, lol. We're trying to limit it as much as possible, are we causing her more damage by letting her be a little active?
I'll check her backside today. She's not biting it excessively that I can tell, just occasionally she'll run in a circle trying to get to it, that's what made me think maybe she's chasing her nub, lol. Thanks for the response!
