| Neutering Recovery Time? My little one is going to be neutered on June 22. I feel bad for him. I really don't want to do it but I have read alot of reasons why it is good to do it and they make sense. Anyway, I was wondering after he is neutered, how long does it take to recover? Also, is the incision really big and are stiches used? I forgot to ask my vet these questions but I am sure someone here can help me out. Thanks. |

| Everyone says they are fine the next day. Tucker was fine as soon as the anethesia wore off! He was jumping off of the couch and chasing the cats that night! They do stitches, I think Tucker had 5. We went back a week later to pull them out, took less than a minute. One bit of advice, I bought a couple of newborn onesies and put that on him so he wouldn't bother his stitches. Worked like a charm! It really isn't a big thing to them, it's just us mommies who freak out!

| I am so glad to hear many of you had a quick recovery time. I hope the same is true for me. I was wondering, did many of you have to use the cone after surgery? |

| Tiki just got neutered last friday, and he was like a little ball of fire as soon as he woke up. I believe the nurses exact words to me when I went to pick him up were "no moss is going to grow on that boy, he hasn't stopped running around since he woke up!" And whoever came up with the idea that dogs tend to calm down after neutering, needs to meet Tiki, I swear he's crazier! |

| I wasn't aware that the cones scare Yorkies. I am a first time Yorkie owner. I am going to do a search on the onesies. I feel so much better now because it seems that many male Yorkies have been just fine after this surgery. Let's see what happens in June with my little one. |
