Had my dog spayed last Friday. I finally get a few days to break away and hunt. It will 7 and 8 days after surgery. She never showed any signs of trouble after the surgery. I'm just worried she could get hurt. She's a 1year old GSP. Since the surgery she's pretty frazzled about staying inside. She wants to run so bad. I was thinking about just doing short loops with her and not pushing her to hard.

Actually I don't think she will hold back so yes she will run hard just not long.

I wouldn't but I'm no expert. Ask your vet.

Nope. I'd give her two weeks.
Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden. Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.

No way. A mesquite thorn or a well place cactus thorn could be a disaster.

I'm a vet and there is Noooooooooo way I would recommend that. It's a recipe for disaster!!! 5-7 days post op is prime time for dehiscence, which can occur with NO predisposing factors. Letting a bird dog run and jump all day through the grass and brush will drastically increase the odds of swelling / inflammation at the surgery site. This is a bad thing. The only way I can imagine that a vet would say this is ok is that maybe they really don't know what a bird dog does while hunting.

I lost a good jip that got loose and torn something loose inside several days after the procedure. Didn't think anything about it when I went to put her up. Found her dead next morning.
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

Yup I'm glad I held off. I'll be headed up to the panhandle today and hunting all weekend. She's been penned up for over a week. I hope she doesn't catch the grass on fire out of that dog box:)
