Mabel was spayed yesterday, although she was a bit shaky and refused chicken and rice last night (although she would take crumbs of victoria sandwich cake!) she has made a miraculous recovery today. I am having great difficulty stopping her from jumping up and running around - have had to remove most of her toys. I tried to put the cone collar on her but this caused her great distress and i was worried that she was going to damage the stitched wound as she was jumping around trying to pull it off. It looks to me as though she can't actually reach the wound to lick it. Anyone else have experience of this? Any suggestions please?

Lola was hard to keep still, and I had to go back to the vets after three days as the wound started bleeding (no lasting damage, just advised to keep her calm for as much time as possible). All you can do is keep her as calm as possible, if she gets restless perhaps take her for a short walk on the lead? I can't remember of they tell you not to walk them for a few days. I never needed to use the cone, as Lola was never interested in licking (it was keeping the other dog off that was the issue!)

Thanks - vet advised no walks for the full 10-14 days as she is extremely boisterous and pulls when we walk. Good to know that Lola didn't need the cone though. We have a 2 day check up tomorrow with the vet but they seem to keep pushing the cone which was why I asked.

Neither of my girls needed the cone, I just had to keep them both calm, easier with Moo as we live in a apartment but scrumps had stairs! We managed fine as will you 2, seems like an age but isn't that long, try mind/seak games, they help to tire them Smile

I will try the games, though Mabel sees everything as a chance to run and jump! At least I know that in a few weeks time we'll be back to normal. Thanks for the advice

Try hiding treats/toys around the home for her to find. Sorry I have just been ordered for a cuddle
