When our Nicco was neutered it was outpatient surgery and he did not stay overnight. In first thing in the morning and out late that afternoon. I was sooo nervous as well and was on pins and needles because they are so little and you worry about the anesthesia. We also assumed he would come home with some sort of cone or whatever so that he couldn't get to the surgical area to lick, but no, the vet said it wasn't necessary. We had planned for his recovery to take several days. Crazy as it sounds, but the time the anesthesia wore off it was like nothing happened. We tried to keep him quiet and not jump, but he just acted like his normal self. He played and jumped and ran and ate, etc. and really needed no recovery time at all. Hope your little guy does as well!
