| Nuetering question Since all the dogs I have ever owned were rescues and already nuetered, I have never had to deal with surgery aftermath. Fizz the little Yorkie we have taken in is 5-7 years old. He is going in next teusday for nuetering and teeth cleaning...his teeth are bad...but we did clear up the ear and major gum infection first. Anyway what should I expect after the surgery from my little guy...what do I want to watch out for...and how long will he be uncomfortable...and will it change his personality. Sorry for a wordy post |

| After Armani's neuter he acted 100% fine... his incision basically looked like a little red scratch and he was running around and wanting to play that same night. His personality didnt change at all. If your guys teeth are really bad and any need to be pulled you may notice more discomfort from that.

| I agree with Armani Man on all points. The teeth will probably cause more discomfort. Max did not exhibit any personality changes after being neutered. Teddy was already neutered when he came home with me. The hardest part is trying to keep the dog from being too active for a couple of weeks. They usually bounce back immediately, but you have to keep them from running and jumping. My vet told us to suspend daily walks for at least 10 days (ETA: long walks that is). Also, you have to fight the urge to give him a bath for about 2 weeks. |
