My lil pup just got his stitches out today from his neuter that was a bit more extensive then a regular neuter and he is just fine. A very happy puppy. I'm certain that Nugget will come through with flying colors. Just give him lots of cuddles and kisses today. He won't be very perky for a day or so. Also, if you have other pets that interact with Nugget, you may want to give him a break today so he can recover. He will be sleepy today. Keep us posted on how he is doing.
