Is it safe for my Yorkie to go outside 3 days after spay surgery?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 5.95 lbs

My Yorkie has just been spayed three days ago and some friends invited me to a green spot outside of town today. I was wondering if I could bring her and how long can she stay outside? Thanks.

No, I would not bring Bailey. She may get excited about being outside, and run around. She needs to rest completely for the next 10-14 days so she heals and does suffer any post-operative complications. Best of luck.
