[Help] Want to take dog to lake tomorrow, neutered 14 days ago, is it OK


Hi all,My dog was neutered about 13 days ago, on May 19th. I am going to the lake tomorrow, June 2nd, with family and I would like to take him. I called the vet and the lady at the front desk said that he should wait 14 days before being wet, and she said that personally she wouldn't take her own dog in this situation. She also said the cone is supposed to be on for 14 days, but the vet told me to 10-14 days.So, on the 10th day I took of his cone and let him play with my other dog, and they have been playing non stop since then (they are both Australian Shepherds, so lots of energy) and he is just fine. He has also been off medication for about 4 days now. He seems fine to me but the desk assistant was saying I probably shouldn't do it, but I think she is just being overly cautious...He is a 1 year old Aussie, if that affects recovery time.What do you guys think? Would you or have you taken your dog to a body of water 14 days after stitches?If you have more questions or want me to upload a picture of the surgery site, comment and I would be happy to answer or upload. via /r/dogs http://ift.tt/2qLGDMk
