No she shouldn’t go, she requires to keep the stitches dry and also needs to keep away from also significantly workout, specially operating and jumping.
You have to have to preserve her on her lead till 2 weeks right after the stitches are taken out, this is to assure that the wound is entirely healed. No point risking it, and delaying the healing course of action and causing her far more pain.

no – you are best to board her. She needs to stay down and clean until the are out and healed.
She could go but it’s not wise as over excitement will damage the stitches and harm her. It’s better if you find someone to take care of her while you’re gone.
She cannot go swimming for it will reopen her stiches and she can go you juust will have to be very careful. Call your vet if you have any concerns.
she can go…. whats the difference if she heals at your house or at a campsite. but i wouldn’t let her in the water that could cause infection
No to all if the stitches get wet or dirty it can be a real promble sorry
Most likley she won’t be able to swim very well, but as long as it’s not deep, she is fine. Oh and she can’t easilly climb up steep hills, so if she is small enough to carry if you have to go up a steep hill, that would be great!
Your dog needs to be on bed-rest for a week after being fixed.
So, no she can’t go camping or swimming. Her sutures need time to heal, so it’d be best to crate her. Only let her out to potty & eat.
No jumping, running, climbing or the like. Is it possible you can post-pone the trip?
No, she should stay away from activities that include running, climbing, jumping, etc. The stitches may re-open and when you are camping I’m sure have access to a vet would be difficult
NO and NO. Board the dog out. Too many things that can infect the dog in the great outdoors. Best to keep doggie in a clean environment until it heals completely.
No, she should actually be resting until the incision has healed. Too much exercise will cause the stitches to open again, plus you will be exposing her to all kinds of infections.
That will only cause her unnecessary pain and discomfort. Find someone you trust to take care of her while you are camping. She can go on your next trip.
How long has it been? You cannot get the dog wet and should not let them exercise excessivly for a minimum of 2 weeks after surgery. and since you have had the problem of the stitches opening, you may want to wait 2 to 3 weeks after being reclosed
she should not go camping. She needs to stay in a place that is suitable for healing like your house or board her if you will be gone for a few days. Absolutely no swimming
No swimming, but going to just relax would be good. They are not to jump around. Swimming could soften the skin and cause it to open again. About a week down time, Good Luck!
umm I’d say Probably not considering they came open already once????
Seems like a odd question to me sorry??
Catch a raccoon and cook it up nice and good over a roaring fire. Mmm mmm tasty!

hot dogs on a stick, you can buy one of those little grill things, and cook burgers, fish that you catch from a stream, also, roasting marshmallows and making smores is a wonderful treat for the kids. go to a camping store or call and ask if they have any ideas.
Take some cut up potatoes and green peppers and onions and put them in some foil to throw on the grill in a Reynolds Wrap “tent”.They go good with whatever you decide to cook meat-wise.(Smells killer when cooking also)
I make up a batch of spaghetti sauce and freeze it in freezer zip loc bags. All you have to do is thaw it out and cook the pasta.
Another one is stuffed round steak. You pound out the round steak and place Italian Bread Crumbs in a thin layer, the sprinkle Parmesan cheese, and then slices of provolone cheese. Roll this like a tube and tie with string. Cut into 3 inch circles (make sure you have the string on each piece !) and wrap each in saran wrap. Freeze. Cook on the grill for about 5-8 minutes each side. Serve with salad !
Breakfast in a bag: in a lunch bag crack your eggs and put them in the bag along with your bacon. Fold the bag closed and poke a stick through it and cook it over the hot coals. You will have a tasty breakfast in no time and the bag doesn’t burn!
When my kids were little they loved anything on a stick or in a pouch. It was just fun. You can do hot dogs of course, but you can do Kabobs with meat and veggies or pork chops on a stick or chicken breasts, or steaks, or shrimp. I always sent dad and the kids on a hike to find good green skinny sticks, while I got the food ready. When they got back dad and I whittled a point on to the sticks and threaded the meat on then everybody (with help of course) got to cook their own dinner over the fire.
Or I would make foil pouches out of double thickness of heavy duty foil and put the meat and veggies in the pouches for individual servings. And don’t forget the S’mores!
My dads favorite is ground hamburger diced/minced onions fried up in a cast iron pan, add a can of pork and beans and ketchup. I actually will crave this now and then. He also used to cook a lot of fish we fished when we camped so that was his main dish. try BBQ meets I don’t know what kind of camp ground you are going to is it like a KOA, then BBQ steak roast hotdogs etc. if you can burn were you camp you can do the same things FOIL is awesome as a cooking utensil, wrapped potatoes in the coles same with corn on the cob, Sounds like fun wish I could go with you. Have fun
Grill some;
kabobs,(pre made)
shrimp
tuna steaks
corn on the cob
burgers and hot dogs
brauts
baked beans
frito chili pies
corn dogs
pork chops
Banana Boats
1 banana, unpeeled
semi-sweet chocolate chips
miniature marshmallows
brown sugar
Slit each banana lengthwise but not all the way through.
Leave the skin on (do not peel).
Put 1-2 tsp each of the marshmallows and chocolate chips in slit.
Sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.
Wrap tightly in foil, being sure to seal ends.
Place on grill over campfire or coals, seam side up.
Takes about 7 minutes to cook.
It’s not lunch and dinner, but…
We like to bring Krusteaz pancake mix (the kind where you just add water) and zip-lock bags. You shake some mix into the bag, add water to get it to the right consistency, then open one end of the bag and squeeze it onto the griddle like you were using a pastry bag. It’s SO easy, there’s virtually no cleanup, you don’t need to back a mixing bowl or spoon and when you’re done with the bag it goes into the trash.
take a can of corned beef hash with you…….great with eggs and easy to do over a campfire
go to allrecipes.com
For a no mess hamburger, try slicing a large sweet vidalia onion in half, gutting out the centers. You can save the scooped out onion parts for another meal or chop up and mix it in your hamburg meat. Make a patty with your hamburg and stuff it into the onion half then place the onion in your campfire. When the burger is cooked to your satisfaction, enjoy it and toss the onion shell into the fire!
