Is it safe for my Yorkie to go outside 3 days after spay surgery?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, a short, leashed walk to go potty and stretch her legs is great. Within the week she will probably be feeling great and ready to walk and play normally, however, keep it on the easy side until the vet gives the ok. Do NOT allow: running, jumping, chasing anything, wrestling with playmates, swimming, etc. until you vet gives the Ok or until 14 days after the spay. Best wishes to you and Dakota!

Yes, 2 weeks should be sufficient time for the surgery site to heal. You can also bathe Snowball now if you want. Just keep an eye on the incision to make sure it continues to heal well. Let her increase her activity level slowly over the next few days and she should do great.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lily. I know it is hard to do, but a dog should really be kept quiet for 10-14 days post-spay. This allows her body to heal. She went through major abdominal surgery. Her incision appears to be healing well from your pictures. I hope this information helps!

Bailey is very cute! Yorkies love being with their humans, so if you enjoy being outside, she will enjoy being with you. Make sure she is up to date on her flea and tick treatments, as well as heartworm, and you are right not to keep her in the sun for too long. Also make sure she has plenty of cool water when outside, and do not take her outside when it's really hot. If you can't hold the back of your hand on the sidewalk for five seconds, it's too hot for her to be outside. I hope this helps!

Yes absolutely she will!! Post operative care usually involve rest for 36 hours after surgery, to wear a buster collar and to do lead walks and restrict exercise for 10 days. Other than that she will be ok no worries, in a month time she will be like nothing was happened.

In general, it is advised to restrict a dog's activity by preventing running/jumping/rough play for 10-14 days after a spay surgery to help reduce the risk of surgical complications. Keep the surgical site clean and dry by preventing splashing in mud/ dirt/ water, and take Molly out (on a leash) for short potty breaks only. I hope that helps!

She is still recovering from her spay only 2 days out from surgery. She really shouldn't be doing strenuous play activity until after she has completely healed from her surgery, which is around 10 days post surgery. So take it easy and allow her to heal for now, she will be back to her normal self in no time.
