Hi there...Pasquale is also getting neutered on Friday...so you are not alone in your worries. We'll be nervous nellies together!! My vet said i could take Pasquale home that day....and i plan on it. I would too if i were you...at least you'll have an eye on him...and just in case anything happens you can take him to an emergency clinic. I dont understand the whole concept of leaving them all alone at nite...i mean...you wouldnt leave a child alone ....right? Hope to see news from you that everything went ok.
