How did y'all handle spaying without the dog tearing up

Mine had a cone for .... uhhh... like 7-10 days. She broke it a day before they said to take it off. I think they prescribed meds too. The sutures were the dissolving type. They also gave her a belly tattoo to indicate she was spayed.

I imagine two dogs would make the situation a little more crazy, and I'm not going to pretend to have any advice on that. Did they give you meds?

I 100% love kongs though, they're awesome for keeping my dog occupied as needed.

Benadryl?

They gave her meds for pain. Now that you mention the cone... I wonder if I could put a cone on each of them when they are together. Maybe that would disrupt them from wrestling.

Brutus had the cone and it kept her from doing much, she was pretty bummed about it.

Only bad thing about it was that it was last winter, so whenever she was outside she'd constantly be scooping up snow into it. It was pretty annoying.

My male had 1 ball in his abdomin so hes got a big scar. It's been like 3 weeks. He wears a cone and vests, will not leave it alone.

Also this happened, which had to be burst and left a big hole.

Boxer shorts with suspenders to her collar. Fuck those cone things. Those are animal abuse, I swear.

Low energy breed, though. Probably too big to reach the wound even if she wanted.

I have no idea, anon. I've only ever had males, and the testes descended properly in both dogs so they were routine neuters with the stitches out a week later no difficulty.

I'd maybe suggest sticking her in a play pen or something? Just something she can't jump out of, where she'll be in the same room as her buddy, but have limited movement and no actual access?

I can tell you all about caring for stitches in the mouth, but not abdominal stitches.

My girl was spayed 4 days ago. She reacted badly to the cone and was injuring herself so we removed it. The vet said if we had a Tshirt large enough we could put it on her and use a hair tie on the back to keep it tight over her incision. Though on the second day she went to chew it and I guess hurt herself because she screamed. She hasn't touched her stitches since. The biggest issue I have now is that it has rained nonstop and she immediately flops in the mud every time I take her out to pee. I'm really worried that it's going to get infected.

Put her on a leash and let her free on nonmudded grass on concrete

*let her pee

This is why pain pills are bad for them, if it hurts they won't do stupid things like tear open wounds.
