Post-op and crazy puppy!

[caines530 14]

Hello everyone. I am new here and in the process of getting sleeved. I am hoping for a December surgery date.

My question is, has anyone had surgery that has a young hyper puppy? I am worried that he may be too hyper to stay home with my right after surgery. Has anyone experienced this? I have no idea how I will feel once I am home, but I can imagine that I won't be able to take care of my puppy. He's a complete mommas boy and always has to be on or around me. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Dogs still sleep a lot. I had a lot of energy but I also got tired fast. You might be like that.

Does he jump on your stomach and walk on you?

[caines530 14]

Yes! He will jump, stand, run, sit, all of the above lol

I had a puppy when I did my surgery in May (still have him but he is a little older now). A pillow on your stomach or in your lap at all times is a must. This will deter him/her from jumping on you.

I don't have a puppy but I have cats who love to sleep on my tummy. I had to put a pillow on my tummy an then it wasn't bad when they wanted to cuddle

I kept a pillow over my tummy the entire time, still do

If you get a December date, that gives you a month to train the puppy not to jump on you or any other people. It's a good lesson for the rest of his life so why not start now! There are a ton of YouTube videos on the subject. I looked up "train puppy not to jump" . Here's one, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLeGDj6WOCE.

Good luck!

Hello I was sleeved on 8/17/2015 I had a 18 week old English bulldog and a nine year old at home. He loved me being home and took him out walking when I went out. I did have my sons home helping I would say work on training now. I had a pillow on my belly when I was on sitting on the couch just in case he jumped on me.

I have a 3 year old 95 pound chocolate lab "puppy". I arranged for some help in walking him after my surgery. He doesn't jump up on people, but he does pull when being walked.

I have a very young, very hyper pug puppy and she is staying at my moms because there's no way I have the energy right now, five days post op!

I think I will have to do something similar. How are you feeling 5 days post op?

Maybe you could get him in a dog obedience class before your surgery?

For walking around the house right after your surgery, a walker would protect you from jumping puppy. That said, I had someone in the house to take care of the dogs right after my surgery, and NEVER had then in the same room if I was laying down.

Thank you for asking. I was still sore and very tired at five days. Today is day seven and I feel much better.
