Ok y'all, Joey turned 7 months old on the first of September. He is scheduled to be neutered on the 9th (Friday). I had mostly girl dogs growing up and my first dog which was Callie is a girl so I have mostly dealt with spayes. We had one boy dog when I was growing up but I was 12 and don't remember much about it and when my parents rescued Sammy he was already fixed. Callie came home the night of her spay and did nothing but sleep no wanting to eat or anything and stayed pretty calm when she was healing. I'm not really sure what to expect with a neuter. Joey has separation anxiety and I'm not sure if it's because I got him so young or because he was passed around to multiple homes before I got him or both. He has never been left alone and even if I leave and he is staying home with another family member he screams at the door for like 15 minutes. I'm scared to leave him at the vet. He is very much a mommas boy. Every time he got a puppy shot he would scream and he can be a little bit of a drama queen. He is the smallest dog I have had so far, he is 8 pounds but tall and skinny. I just worry about him. He got his blood work done last week and it came back great and I bought a soft cone for him. Do I need anything else? He is VERY active so not sure I'm going to be able to keep him calm. Any tips or advice I need to know?
