Answers:
Hi, good to hear that you have your dog Neutered..thanks for saving life..
As i have just have my male dog go for Neutered, his vet told us to wear him the e-collar for 10 days.. to let the wound to heal up..as well to 'don't' let him lick his wound..
For the first few days don't let him contact with the other dog,
to avoid virus,as other dog might lick his wound..
Actually it take around a week to heal up his wound,my dog heal up in one week.
And also don't let him run or jump around for the first week is the best..
Does his vet give him some pain killer?
Some dog need pain killer.
if he is in pain pls take some pain killer from your vet..
Hope this will be helpful.. anything else pls add detail for us to help you..
And last.. pls give him lot of love of care all the time he need you by his side..
Add detail: As for the stitches it will drop out by it self.. the vet told me so..and it true,my dog don't have to go back to clinic to remove the stitches..i wonder your side is it the same?
I would leave the E-Collar on for at least 2-3 days. I know it's hard to watch them with it on lol. Also - they aren't supposed to run for about that long either - it could irritate the site. The wound should heal in no longer than a week. Seems like he feels good but if he was running etc he probably wouldn't after long. When my dogs were done (at the same time) I just kept them quiet on their bed in a kennel for the 1st day and gave them lots of loves. :)
well wheni got my dog neutered it took 2 weeks to heal but its diffrent for every dog. i wouldent let him run or any thing like that for at least a week.if it was me i would wait longer. but its totally up to you. good luck.
Leave the dog inside for at least 1 week, it takes about 10/ 14 days for the wound to heal properly. Don't take the collar off as the dog will lick the wound causing it to swell.
I did all the wrong things with my dog and he suffered, his willy swelled up really badly and the scar opened up. He suffered and it was all my fault.
You need to leave his E-collar on until he's fully healed. When you're with him and can watch him, take it off to give him a break, but it's important that he not be able to lick the site. It gets itchy when it starts to heal and that's when he'll want to get at it. And no, you have to keep him quiet for at least a week so he doesn't tear stitches. Also - it's very important not to let him get the area wet. Does he go back to have stitches out? That would be about 10 days following surgery.
