    Hi guys
    Fargo was done yesterday and he's in great form other than hating his cone, which he got off earlier, but it's back on and I had the vet check and he's done no damage to the stitches etc.
    However he is for the most part is usual hyper self. The question is how soon can I take him out for a walk, even as far as the green, around it and back, about 10-15 mins total?
    I don't want to exercise him too soon, but I also don't want to deny him the exercise a Jack Russell cross definitely needs.

    If hes in good form then im sure a short walk on the lead will do him no harm maybe tomorrow?
    What did the vet advise?

    I forgot to ask. She said to try to keep him quiet. As his nick name is jumping bean you can guess how hard that is!! :D
    He's asleep in his crate at the moment, due back for check up on Saturday morning, so I guess I should wait and see what she says when she sees him.
    He genuinely seems to be more distressed by the cone than the operation. Last night he stood still for 2 hours crying until we took the cone off for a break, and he ran around like mad, until we put it back on again. He's a bit better with it now.

    I took my guy for walks on the lead until the stitches were out. We were told to try and keeping him from jumping around - very difficult because it was snowing lol :pac: He didn't need a cone btw - he knew his leave it command so any time he went near the stitches I told him to leave it and he got the message!
