Default Sooner?

Thank you for helping me. Should I take him sooner, like tomorrow. Or, if he stays the same - wait till Monday? Of course, if he got worse, I'd take him sooner.
He is a cutie; but a sad story behind him. Was a stray wound up at the pound - a mess of tangles, dirty, depressed. I asked if I could take him to Petsmart to have him groomed before his spaying - but the pound would NOT let me. I asked if I could come bath him there at the pound and they said NO. So, I asked them if someone there would wash him before surgery. Noone did. He is really smelly and dirty and I'm upset that they'd operate on him like that. I did bring him to my vet to check the incision and it looked good; and he wasn't sneezing at that point. Was still sedated. Could hardly walk when they released him. So groggy. Seems cruel. They didn't even give any pain pills for him; so we got some at our local vet who looked at the surgery meds they used and okayed some pain liquid. We've only given one day of it; he seems fine and is jumping around.
I'll post some pictures of Sparky this weekend. :*)
Any advice is welcome.
How to get the doggy odor away? can't bath him for 10 days. aargh. Bought a spray in conditioner to wet him down some and comb him; but still smells. I was told to put baby powder on him; but I don't think that's good for his lungs.
He's in the kitchen as is not allowed to live outside by pound rules; and I think a good rule cause he's small, 10 pounds, and silky hair.
Thanks, Lenore
