| I feel for ya...went through this about the same time last year. With boys it is so hard, because they feel better so quickly. I will be thinking of you.

| You should try and keep him from licking the incision site as it can get infected. Good luck on keeping him still. I know once Hot Rod was up and going, he was jumping on and off the couch! :eek

Donating YT 30K Club Member | It's next to impossible. Pixie is recovering from LP surgery and is on crate confinement for 3 weeks. There is no way I can prevent her from jumping up if someone comes in or I leave. Just try and do the best you can. I have been carrying her a lot to keep her from moving around a lot.

| After Chase got neutered last year, I kept him on a leash for the first 5 days. He wasn't crazy about it, but I wanted to make sure he didn't hurt himself. |

| Neutering slowed my Rily down for about 4 hours..then it was back to business. He licked his stitches too, even removed them, but he did great and had no problems.

| NO not ok. It's bad enough we have to keep them from jumping and being active, but we're also on lick patrol! I'm so glad that the neuter is a one time deal. I don't think I could go through that again. Everything went great, but I worried about him ALL THE TIME! Kaji did lick his incision and it got red and irritated. In a pinch, a loose fitting onesie is great to keep them from the area. I will be ordering one of those soft collars soon to keep on hand. Now that I'm finally employed.
