Hello! Congrats on your new baby! Neutering is a simple process, and usually it will be a week until they are healed. Within the week after surgery, they must be leashed walked only, keep that area dry and clean, and no baths during, they are also usually put on medications for 7 days. If he has stiches they usually wait a full week, and if they have dissolvable, you don't need to get them removed. Trust me, you may just want to pick him up after he is all healed, it will safe you a lot of grief! Good luck, and Congrats again!!!!!!
