Angus is at the vet today.
« on: September 17, 2006, 11:49:53 pm »
He is getting neutered today. It is going to be a long day for me. Dropped him off at 8:00 am and pick-up is between 4:00 and 6:00 this evening. At least they told me to call at 12:00 to check up on him.

Angus says "Thanks Everyone". What can I expect when he gets home this evening?

When Puck got neutered he was over a year. He was still a little groggy when we got him home. All he did was sleep. We just set up some nice cozy blankets on the floor for him. The next day he was back to being himself. He was restricted to the leash for potty breaks for a week. I am sure your vet will have instructions for you to follow and the meds. Our vet said after he was home a few hours give him a bit of water not enough that they gulp it down. If he holds that down ok. Then you can give them a little food-if that stays down ok then you can give them more. Puck was very very hungry after too.

Thx everyone. Just got off the phone with the vet centre. Everything went smooth and he is awake and relaxing. I can't wait to pick him up.

Yep main after care instructions are leash walks for a week, watching for infection and preventing them from getting to the stitches.  I'm sure he'll be bouncing by tomorrow but tonight he'll be a little groggy but since they did him in the AM he should be pretty alert by the time you pick him up.  Kali sends drools for a quick recovery.
