Hot Rod was out of it for about 3 days but fine after that. He was jumping on and off the couch by that point, although I tried to keep him from doing that. He had dissolvable stitches. If he is an only dog in your house, I don't see anything wrong with bringing him home but that is up to you. I couldn't count the hours until I could pick Hot Rod up and I was there as soon as they called me. Best of luck to you and congratulations on your new little one.
