MeggyMoo 5 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 hi i've just today had to have my bitch spayed so i was just wondering how long others left it till they started working there dog again? the vet told me to keep her on the lead for around 2 week but i wasn't sure when was best to start taking her out properly again. She is very full on and i know as soon as that 2 week is up and i take her lead off, she'll be off working. atb Saskia 1 Quote Link to post
sailor30 658 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just steady away with her....few weeks on lead...then after that some light excerise off the lead...she will come right . Quote Link to post
beast 1,884 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 every dog is different, but i would suggest keep on the lead until the stitches are out (about 10 days) then gradually increase exercise. bike work is good as you have a lot of control, and can stop the dog jumping or really stretching out. short runs for a couple of minutes after a couple of weeks of bike work (you can keep pedalling through the whole recovery/fitness programme) and lengthen the running periods over the following few weeks. my ma had one bitch that just wasnt right for around six weeks, but mostly they are good to go after a month or so.
