welcome to you and shadow....do you have a cone of shame for him? that will help if you cannot monitor every second so he doesnt lick. there is another soft sided cone most use here but obviously you will need it today. I did not have to many issues with Cedric's neuter...he was a bit groggy when he got home but the next day acted as if nothing happened. I just kept an eye on the area making sure it was healing properly and not letting him lick it at all. Prayers all goes well. Keep us posted.
