Bo Peep Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 He'll be gone all day. I pick him up at 4 PM. They are doing the blood work first and checking for heart worm and starting him on that even though there have only been 10 cases reported in Idaho, better safe than sorry. Before there was only one case reported, so I passed, but now 10......I got a little worried and he's outside more. So here's a good bye picture. Now for the Question- I've only had one male before and he was never neutered. How long of a recovery time am I looking at here? He has an obedience lesson on Wed. No jumping. Just heeling and such. Do I need to cancel? Thanks- Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Yes, I would cancel the class Wed. night. No reason to stress him more so I would just give him a week and let him heal. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 The goodbye pic cracked me up! I agree, I would cancel the Wednesday class, too. He'll need to take it easy for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WoobiesMom Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 My dog Rush was only out of commission for about 2 days. We just took it easy after that. Wednesday might be a little early. Within 5 days he was his old self, running around being a stinker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 at the goodbye picture - poor lad. They do vary a lot in their recovery rate - my first boy lay on the sofa for a few days, but my current boy bounced back very quickly. I'd be guided by how the dog seems to be feeling, but if you're in any doubt, then cancel the lesson. You don't want him to be unduly stressed - trying to do the right thing for you but having trouble. Looking at the time, I guess you've got him back by now. Hope everything went well.
