Coby was neutered on the same day as Aubrey. My instructions said only leash walking too. Really, Coby was 100% within a few hours of coming home. He seemed a little tender when trying to jump, but that was it. Trying to keep him from jumping was the hardest thing. Just try to keep him as subdued as you can (oh, aren't we all laughing at that!!??!!). Make sure he's not messing with his stitches. Coby never bothered them at all. Check the sutures a couple times a day to make sure they're staying closed. Don't fret too much. No dog I've ever had has had any issues with being neutered (or spayed). Just do your best at keeping him from jumping and running for several days. He'll be just fine. The worst thing is probably not being able to give him a bath. Coby got his stitches out today - bath first thing in the morning!! yeah!! |
