Question 1

What is the duration of the limitation of playtime following neutering?

Accepted Answer

The length of the time to limit play should be approximately 10-14 days, which is suggested by the veterinary and the healing rate of your dog.

Question 2

Is it possible to play the dog in the house after the surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes--but you should not play boisterous games--no running or jumping about, or fighting with the other pets.

Question 3

At what time can children be allowed to play outdoors?

Accepted Answer

When the stitches are pulled off, the vet can safely consider the outdoor play to be safe after confirmation that the healing process is complete.

Question 4

What will be the case when my dog will play too early?

Accepted Answer

Early play is likely to reopen the incision, bring swelling, or slow down healing. Never ignore the instructions of the vet.
