Guinnessman Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Lucy was spade, full op., yesterday morning, so about 36 hours ago. She is doing absolutely brilliant and the wound is clean and nice. Vet said no walks at all for 24 hours, then short walks for the next week. Thing is, what is a short walk? She is gagging to go for a walk, she pretty much walks to heel on a slack lead when it is just the two of us. Our normal evening walk is 5 miles and I have just come back from 10 with Logan. Is the 1.5m round trip to the local too much? She’d get an hours rest half way through and the mental stimulation of being there would help stop her going stir crazy. I’m sure many have been through this, so your thoughts would be much appreciated. Sent from my iPad using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I just took skyla out for around 5 mins or so the first few days or so, so she could go toilet n then gradually increased the time Sent from my E6653 using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guinnessman Posted November 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Thanks, that helps, kinda what I thought, we just did 10 mins around the block, which was just about right. We’ll do the same in the morning, then in the Afternoon she can go see her friends.When I picked her up from vet, the nurse said keep her warm tonight. Then looked at Lucy, laughed and added, sorry that’s habit. It’s a Husky wearing a vest.Sent from my iPad using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Our vet told us ‘calm’ walks for 2 weeks, I just took Amy for short 20 mins for few days then built up, I think its stopping them jumping and bouncing around thats more important to protect the stichesYou know your dog better than anyone so I’d play it by ear Hope shes on the mend soonSent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I take her on her own, she walks so gently by my side, especially when it is dark. I think had she been pulling I’d have cut it shorter, but she just pottered about quite happy.Sent from my iPad using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 it is indeed the jumping up that does the most damage...everything gets streched then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
