I can't keep my dog from running around after her spay...

Asked by Tequila (337points) May 25th, 2013

My chihuahua was spayed on Thursday, all went well but I’m having a hard time keeping her calm. She’s still a puppy and she’s also got a lot of anxiety (obsessive compulsive disorder) normally. She started licking her incision so the vet fitted her for an Elizabethan collar which has helped. But she’s jumping on/off couches, trying to go up/down stairs, and running full speed around the house. I am trying my very best to sit with her at all times but it’s like I look away for one second and she takes off. Will this really hurt her or damage her sutures? Any tips on how to keep her safe?
