Riley is getting neutered soon. Well hes getting neutered soon and the vet said he couldn't have food after midnight the night before. I'm not sure he can go that long without food. Lol. Hes a little hog. Whats the best way to go about taking his food away for the night? I really don't want him to be starving in the morning. Any pointers for his neutering? |
It is for his protection. Midnight is actually really late to pull it. Ellie's gets pulled at 9pm before surgery day and water at midnight. Just give him a snack right before. If he were to vomit during surgery he wouldn't be alert to swallow and it can get inhaled into the lungs causing aspiration pneumonia (which can lead to death). Intubation is also supposed to reduce this risk (I think?). No worried, just pull the food. :) |
We had to pull the food at 8 pm....My boys never noticed.....They had to be at the vet's office between7:30-8:30am the next morning....So I got them up and took them early....They did just fine.... It is for their health and safety....And it is only one night... Joyce |
Ok. Is there anything in particular that I need to get for him? Will he bleed or anything like that? What is the best way to carry him home? He has a little plastic kennel, but he only used it when I brought him home the first day. I live in Chicago so I'm going to have to take a bus. I think using the kennel would be the easiest on Riley. |
For Chloe she had a lamp shade on for 2 weeks while the stitches where healing, and we were told to keep her from being rambunctious for a few days. Other than that despite her wooziness post surgery she was her normal Terror of a Terrier. I am always more worried about how my baby will react to the anesthesia vs. the healing. |
Samson was neutered last week. No food after dinner around 8 p.m. Don't worry, Riley won't starve or dehydrate! The vet kept Sam all day. By the time he got home, about 9 hrs. post-op, he was ready to play with the other furbabies. He never seemed uncomfortable. |
