Sounds good. 
Glad she is ok Jazzi.
I remember the vet telling us not to let one of our cats jump after his op. The first thing he did when we got back was jump on top of the fridge freezer. Didn’t cause a problem though.
Thanks all.
I remember when our old lab cross had surgery, for fatty lumps. And our poodle was spayed. I think they both jumped up on furniture when they shouldn’t have done, and there’s me gently walking Holly, but only going to the end of our flats! I’m anxious not to overdo it.
You can only do what you can jazzi, we treat ours with kid gloves after a procedure but you can’t stop them doing everything. I always think if it hurt they’d not do it. That’s all you can do.
Just read on a website that it is normal for a dog not to defecate for 2-3 days after a GA. so I won’t try to keep walking her for that. Should have remembered that we humans are like that.
Yes that’s true we had a problem when Elsie I think it was couldn’t wee that apparently wasn’t normal and the vet was a bit concerned but as we arrived for our appointment to see what we could do she did biggest wee on their doormat, embarrassed us nicely she did. 
Is that all. When Coco was unwell and we took her to the Vets, she did diarrehea all over the Couch, it was everywhere, even on the Vet, it was so embarrassing but she couldn’t help it.
I’m glad I didn’t see the diarrhoea that shot out of Holly earlier this year, when the vet took her to the back for her third and nasty injection when she was poorly! I offered to clean it up but the nurse did it.
Oh dear that’s not good, one of mine chihuahua Rosie always pooped on the table, I’m convinced it was fear of being on the table as it was absolutely taboo for dogs to get on the table at home.
In this case, that is why we had to take Coco to the Vets, because she was so poorly, this was end of last year, she had really bad toilet problems and being sick as well and cost us a lot of money.
I suppose they warn about jumping up because of the possibility of tearing the internal stitches.
Did they glue her externally Jazzi?
Took Holly out a short while ago and she did both toilets! So proud of her. But she doesn’t seem to think she’s had major surgery, as I can’t keep her down. Wants to still say hello to people, is up on her hind legs…
I just take her out for about ten minutes, intended, but with her, that can stretch to double. Lots of standing around, or sniffing.
Oh Gawd…while my back was turned…in the kitchen waiting to cook rice, she’s got up onto the chair! The cow has been wanting to do that all day.
ETA. Yes, Mups, they did.
Although dogs have amazing constitutions and do heal very quickly, it is sometimes terrifying to watch them after a major procedure, which they themselves often don’t even acknowledge having… :shock:
Too true Barry that’s why I predicted fun and games after it. I’ve never had one ever respected they’d had a major op it’s so scary to watch them. My vet reckons it goes back to the wild, a wild animal can’t let anyone know they are injured of weak so they pretend to be neither if they possibly can.
Yes, she continues to scare me! When she sits in front of me, when I’m in the chair, and I just know she wants to get up and join me, I hold out a hand to warn her away, because she won’t let me pick her up. But when outside a short while ago I was able to lift her to show her scar to our neighbour (he who is getting my newspaper for a few days).
She continues to do very well. Toiletting and eating, as normal. And if she had her way, jumping up at every passer by, or chasing after cats, squirrels, leaves that blow across the pavement, lol. If she runs about indoors, (when I remove shoes or slippers, for instance) I say ‘calm down! You’ve just had an operation!!’ Removed most of her toys and just allow a couple of Squeakies.
Will build up her walks by a few minutes each day, or just a bit further along the road, whichever is more appropriate. She’s raring to go, even now.
She’s coping well with the cone, but she often won’t let me clean it (after eating, or after walks where she scrapes it on the ground/along bushes) without a little struggle. I miss being able to kiss her adorable little face and ears.
Fed, watered, and walked.
You can try taking it off while you are supervising her jazzi, we only used ours when we were not able to watch them, some don’t ever bother the wound and those that can’t resist can have the collar back on.
Adorable and a dead fox too 
Aww bless her. I’m sure you could remove the cone to give her a kiss Jazzi and one from me too 
Actually I don’t remember mine having cones after being spayed and they never had any problems.
Oh she loves her foxy. Grabs him by the throat, where his squeaky is.
I keep looking at the cone and its fixtures, and it looks more trouble than its worth. I’d be afraid of not being able to put it back on again. Will ask the nurse/vet tomorrow morning, at her check up.
She yapped for me just now when I nipped to shop across the road for dumpling mix, tho she had her peamutt butter in the kong. Usually it is enough to quieten her down while I’m out (only gave a tiny amount). Back to the drawing board, I guess.
