Hi everyone!
I’m back because I’ve got a few questions. My dog, Fidel, was neutered two days ago now. Everything is going well so far. Even though he’s bored not being able to go out for a run, the wound is healing nicely and he isn’t trying to lick it.
We’re currently living in Mexico and the vets here are a bit more 'relaxed' than they are back home in the UK. My vet told me that two days after the op, he could go back to his normal routine. We usually go for long walks with Fidel where he meets other dogs and they sometimes play quite roughly. He said it wouldn't be an issue, but it seems a bit soon for the wound to have healed properly. What do you think?
Also, we live by the coast and, similarly, my vet said he could go back in the water in three days. This also seems a bit quick to me... How long should we wait before letting him go for a dip in the sea without risking an infection or slowing down the healing process?
Thanks for your help, everyone! :)
