I just had Mickey neutered last monday. He's alsmost 6 lbs. They did the surgery at 11 and by 2 they had him drinking water and he did fine, at 530 I picked him up. He whinied on the way home alittle but as soon as we were home he was acting fine. He was not shaky, sleepy, or anything! He's not as hyper but he's been fine. They didn't send pain meds home, but he didn't act at all like he needed them but I gave him benadryl that night to help him sleep. His stitches are tiny and have been clean. He has 3 little stitches that come out thursday. My vet did the surgery with the laser so I think that helps cut down the pain and swelling. When I brought him home I gave some neutracal and water and then later a little yogurt.
