Re: dog walking!
Hi Sparkyleeds, at a guess I doubt think it would be long until you would be able to.
I guess its down to when you feel like a walk really....but if you do have a very pully dog this may be difficult.
I would just say though, according to a surgeon I saw at Transform - don't leave yourself just resting in bed all day - too much laying about is not good - you still need to stay a bit active and move about a bit.
Hope that helps a bit x x x x

Re: dog walking!
i have been walking since about day 7 post op. only about30 min walks buttoday atday 10 i took my dog for 2 walks! one for about hour and half. he is very good tho and think he knows something up with me as he was so slow bless him. even when i let him off the lead he didnt want to leave me! i love my dog :) but if yours is very pully even today at 10 days i dont think it would be good....

Thanks everyone for the replies,hopefully my husband can take her out to start with and then i shall just see how i feel! It only takes 5 mins to get to the park and the i let her off the lead,she loves to run after the ball,and shes far less pulley on the way back!!..

Re: dog walking!
I took my dog out the next day after my op but my boyfriend held the lead. I had no strength in my arms so I wouldn't of been able to hold him if he pulled me, and he's small. Maybe you can walk slowly with your husband to start off with? I think I was fine to walk him on my own after about a week. Xxx

Re: dog walking!
I waited a whole month before walking my dog - but she is a husky x german shephard so she's pretty big! And she's sooo boisterous and pulls like mad. I think my implants would of gone somewhere else if i'd taken her out too early haha! xx

Re: dog walking!
Ive not booked yet peggysue! Got a consultation in november so hoping for a date in january! Just wanted to get as much info on everything before i go ahead! Sarah i bet your dog is a beautie,! mine is a cross between a border terrier and a poodle!,i think shes got springs in her feet she can jump as high as my shoulder! but shes very loving and is always sitting on my knee,i think she was probably a cat in a former life !!!

Re: dog walking!
I think the issue would just be a sudden jerk could cause a hematoma early PO. I'd give it at least 3 weeks, or even 4, personally.
Better to be safe than sorry - you're better off waiting an extra week or two versus having another op!!

Re: dog walking!
I was walking my horse on a lead rein by day 3, although the boyfriend actually held him for about 14 days.... bit more of him to be pulling than a puppy lol.

Re: dog walking!
I suggest getting a haulti collar for your doggie. It goes around their nose and just takes away their strength to be able to pull. It does not cause pain or discomfort like a choke chain or anything so dont worry. I have a Rottweiler who were origionally bred to pull along farmers carts at the market so you can imagine that he is very strong when he wants to be. With a haulti, theres not much tug at all and he and the moment you stop walking it causes the dog to stop immediately so theres none of that business where youre trying to go one way and the dog is trying to go the other way.
Hope this helps. x
