| I had Button done last autumn & he's a real live wire! The vet said,"Keep him quiet for a week, no jumping, preferably till the stitches come out in 3 weeks." !!!!!!! For the first 2 days I had to confine him to a crate to stop him dashing about with the others, jumping on the sofas etc........he howled the place down So then I gave up & let him out. He was fine, despite charging around everywhere at breakneck speed. He only had two tiny stitches & it was easy to keep them clean by just bathing them every day for the first week with a teaspoon of salt dissolved in a pint of water. |

| Chewy didn't feel good for the first 2 days.... I would not go away with my dog after this surgery. I also had to keep him from jumping, once they feel better it is hard to keep them down. Chewy had teeth pulled and had meds that tasted horrible. The meds were liquid so I put small drps of the meds on little pieces of bread, then i spread chicken baby food on the bread to make like a little SNACK for him! He ate it like it was the best snack he ever had!
