He went through the op and post op fine, but of course now he really wants to keep licking his wound.

He&amp;#39;s doing really well now, he&amp;#39;s not too interested in the wound and it looks very clean. I keep doing little training sessions with him and it does keep his mind off it. I shall just be glad when we can walk him again, he has two really long walks a day and I think he&amp;#39;s a little confused when the lead is only for taking him in the garden and not out. &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Happy_smiley.png" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: After neutering advice.</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/91952?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Aug 2010 22:04:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:f4785e05-3556-475c-98d2-df2fef35a1be</guid><dc:creator>BengalcatRVN</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;was also thinking frozen kongs! :D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: After neutering advice.</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/91933?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Aug 2010 19:46:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:d588fe6c-939e-42f5-ab9b-1d04ff0436e3</guid><dc:creator>jodieandrews</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, He&amp;#39;s lovely! As a collie owner myself I can understand the &amp;#39;bouncy&amp;#39; problem. Keeping him calm is gonna be tough, especially if he can&amp;#39;t have his usual exercise. I find with my collie ( who is only 15mths) that nothing wears her out more than &amp;#39;brain drain&amp;#39;. Get him thinking and working stuff out, that might help keep him calm. Maybe short training sessions or toys like kongs are good. Fill the middle with his food and freeze it. He&amp;#39;ll spend ages getting it all out! Good luck with his recovery and i hope he&amp;#39;s back to full speed soon &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Happy_smiley.png" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
