Wondering if it's the same with dogs open sores?

Hmmm,she seemed ok when I applied, then again she is stitched so tight there aint anything near opened!

I think Cook's gums must be doing well today, as she was just chewing her tennis ball!

I've had to confine her to her x-pen, because she keeps jumping up on the back of the couch, when she's sitting with me, and now she's giving me the sad eyes, hoping I'll let her back out. Her stitches look great, no redness or swelling, and her gums are nice and pink, she's doing great.
Cheers Quad & Gina

Oh my! Quiet that child down! She needs to heal! I was given strict orders to keep Zoey off her feet and quiet the day after, after all it is major surgery!
I have t remind hubby that too he so loves to play with her and she knows it, but there ain't no wiggling and squirming today!
The most activity she has had is being tucked in my coat and taken outside for a sniff of the air , it's such a dark, dreary , day anyway , tis good to just lay around. And the silly little thing will if you will.

It's good to hear she is doing so well though.

Yeah, nothing fun about the spay... well, except the peace of mind that she'll never be a mommy after.

I remember before we had my mastiff spayed a little 15 pound dachsund had snuck into the back yard and tried to mate with my 165 lb mastiff. I can't imagine what those puppies would have looked like.

Just three. She lost most of her baby teeth naturally.

She has not had her first heat yet! My Chihuahua did at 9 mos. so I am concerned. Busy biting my nails!!!

Cook just had her second poop, and this time it didn't look difficult at all; just a normal #2. She was practically dragging me along when I took her out on her leash, moving with such excitement. I know without the leash she would surely be running and jumping outside on our potty trips.

Your lucky ...we have to play beat the clock and I hated having to do my fur baby at 5 months....but the vet said it was fine soooooo I did.
I think every month counts to give them time to mature....and they can come in early.

Yeh be careful one day isn't enough time to completely heal

Oh, she's not allowed to run and jump until Monday after next when her stitches come out. Seems like that day will never get here.

yorkiefan_ · 11-06-2013, 01:51 PM

I wonder if it's a good idea to get her back on her normal kibble soon, since she was chewing her ball a little earlier. I'll start introducing her chew toys again in a day or two. I didn't want her to have them right away because she takes them and shakes the crap out of them in her mouth to play with them, sort of the same way Minnie used to do to snap birds' and squirrels' necks when she caught and killed them.

Quadraphinic · 11-06-2013, 02:04 PM

I am keeping her as quiet as I can, but they have a mind of their own. She's been in her x-pen a lot, especially when she starts to get rambunctious. She's having no problems with eating or bathroom, and her incision looks great, no redness or swelling or moisture. Glad everyone else is doing well with the recovery.
Cheers Quad & Gina

Lol , yeh mine does that too. I have a stairway banister where I have a long iced of elastic tied around , at the other end is a toy she loves to shake . THIS way she really goes wild and when she lets loose it goes flying, she loves it.
We had to take it down and today she felt the urge to go after it and it wasn't there......awwwwwwwwwww!

No shakin for a while...remember those stitches trying to heal our babies, they don't know.
