My puppy just got neutered 10 days ago and is doing great! He will do just fine and will be back to normal in no time!
I was also worried about him not eating for so long but he did just fine. I asked about bringing food but they do not allow them to eat for a few hours after the anesthesia wears off so that they don't get sick to their stomachs. I wasn't able to feed him until about 7pm on the night I brought him home and even then I was only allowed to give him 1/2 the normal amount of food. At first, he wasn't hungry but then all of a sudden his energy and appetite came back and he gobbled up his dinner! My guess would be that Nutrical would be a no-no since you are not allowed to give them water either. The vets monitor the dogs very carefully before, during and after the anesthesia so I am sure they will keep an eye on your baby. I would ask them how they prevent hypoglycemia when you take him in so that you have peace of mind.
Good luck! He will do great! |
