Easier said than done!!
We got her home and she slept for an hour or so and then woke up and started playing in her normal JR manner. Racing round the house like a maniac on and off sofa and up and down the stairs. Was told not to walk her for a few days but had to cos she was so energetic.
She did jump on the bed and this made her cry but I think she knew her limits. Stitches healed with no problems.

my vet never said anythinig about stairs - i can't prevent that one since i live on a 2nd flaor flat!
but i do try and walk very slowly when going down the stairs!
she also said not to walk her for much for 10 days - just out in the garden!
i donthave a garden, so thats why she goes a little strole.
i don't know how she (the vet) expects me to prevent a energetic dog like a GSD calm for 10 days
- i think these 10 days are going to be very long lol
luckily enough she isn't allowed to jump on the bed or couch - so i don't think she will be able to rip the stitches in the house.
but outside might be a different matter lol
