Harley is having her staples out tomorrow She has been on restricted walks and not been allowed near any water for the past 1.5 weeks. Her bite wound has healed really well Once she has the staples out, can I start upping her walks and allow her back into water straight away? Nearly all the walks we do have streams or rivers so this has been a major nightmare for the past week or so as we haven't been able to go there.
Re: Vets tomorrow That's great news!! The vet will check the wound site and will let you know if she can swim now. Best to wait for their verdict. Hopefully it will be 'proceed as normal!'
Re: Vets tomorrow Fingers crossed for Harley hope all goes well and those horrid staples come out easily xx
Re: Vets tomorrow That's really good news. I hope she'll be well enough to join the walk at the end of the month.
Re: Vets tomorrow Good luck!! I'm sure she'll be fine! The vet may say to keep her out if the water for another week or so as there may be small wounds where the staples came from. I can't see any reason why she would needs restricted exercise unless the wound is in a place where it could get torn open by her running around.
Re: Vets tomorrow Thank you all can't wait to get them out and go out for our nice wet walks again Per are aiming to come on the walk at the end of the month - hubby is coming too! - as long as Harley doesn't come into season!!
Re: Vets tomorrow All good I'm glad to report the vet took the staples out, Harley didn't even flinch, waited til they were all out then she gave the vet a wet slobbery kiss ;D She can proceed as normal with walks and water not long home from work so about to get changed then off into the woods we go
Re: Vets tomorrow Good news ;D so pleased the ordeal is over and happy walks and swimming can recommence!
