Hi everyone, my 4 month old male puppy got home from the vet getting neutered as well as his last round of shots yesterday. I was anticipating the vet giving me all the information I need, as before hand I saw conflicting information online. When I picked him up the advice given was mainly about the next 6-12 hours regarding the anesthesia wearing off, and to wait 2 weeks to bathe him. The discharge paper I was given says “unless otherwise instructed your pet should not require special attention”. They also didn’t give me a cone but told me to monitor if he started licking the incisions (he’s been fairly uninterested and quickly redirects, thankfully, but I’m getting him a recovery suit anyway). Is this standard? From everything I saw online it seems most people get a pretty specific timeline on when their puppy can resume activity again. Today I’ve been going crazy trying to keep him chill and not running or jumping. My parents say that if it hurt him he wouldn’t do it, but I’m just nervous he’s going to accidentally bust a stitch open. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, as I just want what’s best for him. Thank you and sorry for the long post!
