...for Kate to be out in the yard (without a leash) after being spayed? The vet gave me a sheet of tips to help her incision heal better. It says she shouldn't have any exercise on a leash for a week (which I agree with - no walks). BUT - she loves to lay out in the yard and birdwatch. She MAY run around a little bit (but) not too much...
It's been tough keeping her calm, she's been much more restricted than usual, I don't want to take away her bird-watching tooÂ
 It's quite obvious to me that she shouldn't run/jump (etc), but I don't feel letting her out in the yard is going to hurt her? Her incision isn't bugging her at all (she doesn't appear to be in any pain, plus she's on a gentle pain killer for a few days anyhow). Other than it being itchy, she hasn't shown any other signs. It seems to be healing nicely, not red/swollen or anything...
GOSH - I think I've posted on here about 10 times a day since she got spayed. Sorry guys!!!
