| Izzy is getting Neutered I am getting Izzy neutered tomorrow. What should I expect for recovery? Any tips on how to make his recovery comfortable? Is he going to be completely helpless for a while? Im sure the vet will give me some pointers but I just wanted to get your input. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

| Is your vet going to give him pain meds. Some do and some dont. He will need to stay calm. No jumping,only going outside to go potty then back in. You cant bathe him for 10 days. With Chachi the hardest part was keeping him calm because he came home and acted as if nothing had happened

| Great, I am so glad to hear that he is doing well. Nothing is worse than having one of your babes sick or not feeling well! </IMG>

| I only have experience with spaying, but I only gave Sissy the pain meds the next morning and she never whined or slowed down at all!! But, she also spent the night of her spay at the vet. I couldn't pick her up till the next morning....

| You guys should be home by now. Let us know how he's doing. When Max was neutered, he was sleepy the next day and then acted like nothing happened. I couldn't keep him still, no jumping, etc., he didn't get (or need) pain meds and I took off that collar as soon as I got him home. It was bigger than he was. Just keep an eye on his stitches to be sure they don't get red and inflamed. Max's never did. Judy |

| Karla, I hope "Elvis" is doing good. Jeter was kinda mellow for a couple days as I recall. What helped a ton was putting him in a babies onesie instead of making him wear a silly cone. He was much more comfortable and snuggly in the onesie. Let us know how the little guy is doing |

| Archie and Willie were kind of out of it the rest of the day of their surgery and part of the next day. They had the paid meds that evening and the next morning, but that was all they appeared to need. I really think they had more pain from the teeth they had pulled than from the surgery. By the second day it was as if nothing had happened. Neither the cones or onsies worked for them --- they could take them off, so we just watched and corrected when they started licking the incisions. They didn't bother them after the second day. Hope your little guy has it as easy. |
