| Chewie just got neutered yesterday We brought him home tonight and he has tons of energy and doesn't seem to be in pain at all. But he has been squatting like he's going to pee pretty often but then he doesn't pee. But he just did pee and there was a few drops of blood in it. I called our breeder and she said to keep an eye on him and call the clinic in the morning if he's still doing it. I just put Chewie is his kennel and put him in our bedroom to go night-night. Should I be really worried about him? My husband doesn't think so. Is this common after a neuter? Like I said, he's acting perfectly normal - running around like crazy, as usual. |

| I spoke with the vet that did the neuter this morning. He said he thinks it sounds like a urinary tract infection. He said that's not really related to the neuter. Only that he may have been somewhat uncomfortable so he held it too long and with his immune system being lowered because of the surgery, he got an infection. We have a vet appointment for 5:00 this afternoon to have him seen. Hopefully that's all it is and with a few antibiotics he'll be as good as new. He's seriously so hyper that he doesn't seem sick, but he does keep squatting. The sheet we got from the vet says no excessive running or playing. I don't know how to stop him from doing that. i'm not encouraging him to play. I haven't tossed a ball for him or anything but he runs around and plays on his own. He just loves all his toys so he's not going to just sit still. Of course, my husband and I are both at work right now and will be all day today so I imagine he'll sleep most of the day. He doesn't have free run of the house so there's not a lot for him to do. |

| I had Alfie neutered yesterday and I just noticed tonight that he has a little blood in his urine. I just got off the phone with the vet, and they told me to get a urine sample because small dogs are susceptible to excessive crystals, or something of that matter, after surgery. Now I need to figure out how to catch his pee. That should be fun. Hope your boy is feeling alright! |

| They don't know if it is an infection or just inflamation but gave us some antibiotics just in case. Hopefully if it's either, he'll start to feel better in a day or two. He's acting just fine other than having to pee a lot. |

| Gus was neutered recently. He had to wear an E-collar and have go back for suture removal. Is this your experience? I ask because I haven't heard anyone mention suture removal. He seemed to be healing very well for the first 3 or 4 days. Then on day 4, swelling occurred. I panicked and called the vet. He said to apply ice packs (yeah sure) to reduce the swelling. Turns out swelling, a couple of days after surgery, is normal.

| Well Gucci came home the same way he went in. Seems the blood work showed an elevated liver enzyme reading. Then the second test didn't make the vet comfortable with surgery, so I'm taking him in for an ultrasound on Monday. Hopefully, we'll find that it's not serious and he'll be scheduled for next week. He eats drinks and acts normal, so I'm thinking our vet is being extra cautious. Not a good day for us. |
