| Zeke got neutered last thursday, he is six months. The first day was a little tough for him but the vet sent him home with pain meds and he slept all day. And on the second day he was back to normal, we even had to calm him down because he was running around everywhere. He did not have any stitches since it was done by laser and is not as invasive (glue was used to adhere the skin). Good luck! |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | my Yorkie Jack was 6 months when I had him neutered and the first day he was a bit groggy he got a pain killer shot before coming home, the second day he was back to normal, he got stiches and they were removed after 10 days. |

| When we spayed Nadia she was a year and we had to slow her down. The girls that were over two took a day or so to feel better...never had it done to a pup that young though.
