Thank you in anvance.

First and foremost...Welcome to YT.

I suggest having the pre-op bloodwork done to be sure that he is fine for the surgery. When he comes home he will be groggy and out of it for the first day. A little pain med goes a long way. He will be fine the next day but a bit sore. So be sure to give him the follow up meds and not let him jump around. After his suture removal it will be fine to give him a bath.

Good luck and hope all goes well for you both.

Thank you for the info. He is like one of my children and worry about anything that is going on with him.

The blood work will be a great indicator as to if you have any issues that will cause a problem during the neutering.

Hi! I know how you feel Meeko was just neutered on Friday! I was a nervous wreck!!! He did great tho. He layed around most of the day. He was a little crazy when he first saw me and my bf but, i kept telling him to sit and lay down. I wanted him to rest. They said he might not want to eat but, he ate a lot. I'm still asking him to lay down. I'm scared he might rip the stitches but, he wants to play. try not to worry too much, he'll do fine!

Oh yea! DEFINITELY!!! get him a onsie! They are so much better than the e-collars! If your little guy isn't use to wearing clothes, I'd go out and get one and have him wear it for a few days. Meeko hated the e-collar. He wouldn't clear it when he was walking out the door or it's drag on the floor. He peed in it once and I had to put it back on till I washed it and he looked so miserable. After I took it off he went crazy running, he was free! It's worth it tho!

Welcome to the site. Hot Rod was very tired and sleepy right after his surgery, but he also had 14 teeth removed. He sleep for about the first 2 days after. He was back to jumping around after that...it was hard to keep him from doing that but he was pretty much fine. Good luck with your little guy.
