Just had my Alaskan husky bitch spayed on Monday. Would have liked keyhole but the practice doesn't do it so had to go traditional. My vet, as expected, advised on leash walks for 10-14 days afterwards, then build up to normal exercise, & she should be ok to be working in harness again by October. She is technically on a long leash all the time anyway given her breeding, but normally allowed to run. I take "on leash" instructions by a vet to mean to heel at a walk. However, hubby took her in for a post-op check yesterday, & the vet nurse who did the check advised 4 weeks on leash walks (no issues with her scar or anything). I've never been advised such a long time with any other bitches. Do you think that sound a bit excessive, being twice as long as i'd been previously advised?
