Neutering

BackyardZoo · 08-20-2005, 07:54 PM

I am adopting a clumber/ cocker spaniel 7 mths old from the PSPCA Charlie. He is being neutered and microchiped. I was wondering is there any special way I should treat him when he comes home. I have heard dogs are usually lethargic after the operation for a couple of days. Hopefully he will be home on Mon.

We just had our 5 month old lab neutered yesterday, we were told not to allow playing, running and to allow him to sleep. I keep an eye on him I tried to keep him in his crate and take him out once in a while to lay down with me on the floor. The vet said that short leash walks were allowed. He has been sleeping most of the day today
I just keep an eye on him to make sure he does not look like he is in pain and does not lik his stiches

Man am I getting impatient . The PSPCA was suppost to call me t pick Charlie up today. But they didn't and now I prob. will have to wiat till Mon. PLus I'm afarid that something could have gon e wrong wit the neutering like him beoing under anesthesua too long>........

Give them a ring and ask how he's going. I hope everything is ok.

I'd just give them a call and ask. Sometimes they just forget or misplace a number, or are so busy they just don't have the time.

that's frusterating
BTW -- I LOVE Clumbers-- so congrats on getting a very cool and rare dog.

If they don't call tomorrow I'm calling. I had a bad dream about it last night

. You know I'm 14 don't need this stressLOL

LOL, I just want to congratulate you on adopting from the SPCA!

And you are getting a cool mix there. Be sure to post pics when he comes home if you can.

As for neutering aftercare. Don't walk him in any high grass, don't let him run around too much, don't let him lick his incision or pull out any sutures and watch/inspect the incision for infection.

Usually they pull through like champs though!

BackyardZoo · 08-21-2005, 11:18 AM

Thanks... I feel a little better. See I had a weird dream that he was under anesthesia too long so he died, and I had another one where someone who also wanted him stole him... Silly Huh?

BackyardZoo · 08-21-2005, 11:20 AM

I think my imagination is a little to overloaded...

Kelly · 08-21-2005, 11:22 AM

LOL, I don't think they'd let anyone steal him. And neutering is a relatively quick procedure, so it's unlikely he'd be under too long.

Good Luck with getting him home soon!

BackyardZoo · 08-21-2005, 11:23 AM

I'm the one who found out what breeds he was cause the PSPCA just said clumber spaniel mix. Well I did a little research and I noticed a picture of a clumber/cocker spaniel who looked just like him ( different color)

BackyardZoo · 08-21-2005, 11:25 AM

Thanks a lot. That eases my head but I have a feeling I will still be worried up untill the moment Charlie is in my arms. O and may I mention I am a petsitter ( 14 years of age not professional) But have experience Levittown,Pa. $15 per hour.

mistyd5770 · 08-21-2005, 04:03 PM

Let us know when you hear how he is doing

BackyardZoo · 08-22-2005, 04:53 PM

Just picked up Charlie at 4:00 pm. My dad loves him. He is the sweetest my chihuahua/dachsund tried to bite him. Chalie just stood there. LOL. He got neutered and they cut his private and stitched it up with puple plastic thread. He gets stitches out in Sept.
