I do have some puppy nutrical on hand, so I could give him some of that on the morning of the surgery instead of or in addition to the peanut butter. I’m not really inclined to force feed water; that could be dangerous, especially with a wiggly pup like Jax.

Yes you definitely could do that. I keep some of the adult version of the nutrical that I give the boys when they decide not to eat or act weird.
