He hasnt pee'd yet or eaten and is shivering and cuddling with me...that was alot of stuff to happen all in one day I guess..
He had dried blood on his neck from the microchip and his incision site looks good..his teeth were pulled and that must hurt too  ...but all in all he is doing ok...Im sure a good night sleep without the other two dogs bothering him will be good and he will be a bit more chipper tomorrow..
I have a groomers appointment set up for him for Saturday..is that soon after a neuter to get him groomed..I forgot to ask..should I cancel it or see how he is feeling Saturday..maybe its too soon to bathe him 3 days after surgery??

No bathing or grooming for 7-14 days, depending on what your vet says. My vet always said 10 days...you want the incision to completely heal before you get it wet.
Are you sure the blood is from the microchip? They implant that just under the skin between the shoulder blades, not the neck. Maybe the blood is from an IV or injection... I've just never heard of bleeding from a microchip
I'm glad everything went okay and hopefully he'll be back to himself soon
