| Howie gets neutered tomorrow Hi everyone, Tomorrow's the day - Howie gets neutered. I'm pretty calm so far. I know I'll be more nervous tomorrow. My question for all of you is how should I transport him home? Normally when we travel in the car I have one of those harnesses that strap through the seat belt. I don't think that will work after his surgery b/c I don't want to anything to rub against his stitches. I have a carrier bag for him with mesh sides.. should I just put his blankie in there?? It's not that big. I appreciate your thoughts!

| I would use the carrier just make sure the blanket is a fabric that won't stick to his stitches, maybe a towel would be better??? or get someone to go with you so you can just hold him. Prayers and well wishes for a quick recovery Howie! |

| Transporting him in your carrier is fine. I brought Chachi home in a small crate

Donating YT 30K Club Member | A soft blanket in the carrier should be fine. Thinking good thoughts for a safe surgery.

| Why! He'll probably never speak to you again after this! Just kidding! I'm sure that he'll be fine. I know how you feel. It's definitely a normal feeling. I hope the day goes fast for you. At this rate, your house will be spotless.

| Great! You could give him some water in a syringe or dropper.

| The syringe idea is good or try chicken broth Low sodium. Sometimes the anesthesia makes them a little nauseous so I wouldn't overdue the liquids on the first day. Did the vet send you home with some pain med? If not, I would call and go pick some up. |
