I'm very sorry for the loss of your husband and hope you begin healing soon.

The only advice I can further offer on the neuter is that you should check to see if there is someone at the vet's 24 hours, at my vets there wasn't so as soon as my dogs were altered I promptly brought them home despite my vet grumbling about it-I said unless you are going to be watching my dog around the clock checking every 15 minutes in the least which I doubt you will then my baby will be coming home.

I did that with both my adopted rescue picking him up 5 hours after he was fixed (first time meeting him in person) and with my female 2 hours after she came out of surgery.

Also I insisted my male had liquid band-aid put over his incision to keep any bacteria out he had dissolving stitches put in.

The vet who did my females spay refuses dissolving stitches saying they can leave too much scar tissue and itch dogs more therefore she refuses use of them and also she knows people will bring their dogs back in to get them out and she can ensure there is no infection.


HotRodsMom makes Kiss-E cones a soft collar cone that is a miracle for dog's recovering from such issues.
I don't know how I survived without the Kiss E cone before.
