Caring for dog after surgery

[Amerauto]

Hi. Whats your experience caring for a dog after surgery? Im putting my dog in boarding for a week but is that enough time? Hes a fairly active and jumpy 1 year old and im a little scared of getting stomped on in the nuts. Any suggestions. TIA

……a little scared of getting stomped on in the nuts….

This sounds scary to me. Especially after seeing this incident below.

Maybe wearing a protective guard might help.

A week out you’ll be fine. Maybe sit with a pillow on your lap when the pooch often jumps on your lap.

I got jumped from my cousins dog a small jack russel. I never forget it and one week out is much to optimistic.in my opinion. Watcg out this can be really painfull and you are not awsre all the time. Good luck.

Not exactly the same, but I had a very large Maine Coon cat and after some signaling that I didn't want him on my lap, he figured it out and sat next to me, instead. You can probably get even better results with a dog, because they're easier to train.

You shouldn't have any problem unless the dog is huge. One week might help but you'll still be sore for a few weeks. My grandson accidently head butted me at week 3 and made me hurt for two more weeks.
