Guide To Recovery After Spaying/Neutering Your Dog

Avoid Excessive Activity

It's important for any dog recovering from being spayed or neutered to avoid excessive activity for a week after the surgery. Too much activity increases the risk of the sutures opening up and causing an infection or injury to the site, which poses a serious health risk. Dogs should have a crate or a quiet room they can rest in just after the surgery, as well as at night or any other time their owner cannot provide proper supervision. A dog recovering from this kind of surgery can take part in quiet activities, such as walks. Playing with other pets should wait until at least a week after the procedure to avoid any problems.
