Last week, Erich as well as I made a decision that it was lastly time to get Leo neutered. We always understood we wished to get him neutered, however we were iffy on the timing of it. Of all the articles I read, half of them stated we must wait up until he’s 18-24 months old as well as the other half stated we must do it before he turned 1 year old. all of them stated the timing was crucial to stop any type of illness or cancer later on in life. We likewise asked our vet when we very first brought Leo to him. He told us the very best time to get him fixed was when he started lifting his leg.
We took our vet’s advice, kept a close eye on Leo’s habits as well as made a decision it was time to routine his neuter. Leo got fixed this week as well as is doing well! He is taking some pain medication as well as is unhappily walking around in his “cone of shame”.
The evening after Leo’s surgery, I felt so poor for him. He was still extremely drowsy from the anesthesia as well as was having a rough time with the cone. The next day, he was a whole new pup! He ate his entire breakfast as well as was bouncing around the place. It’s been tough trying to keep him from jumping. I’m anxious he’s going to open his incision.
I was not sure whether to leave him at house to heal or if it was much better to bring him to work so I might keep an eye on him. The vet technician stated it would be fine to bring him to work, as well as I’m pleased I did. considering that I’ve been able to keep an eye on him, I was able to notice his cone wasn’t huge sufficient as well as he might reach his incision. I swiftly grabbed a bigger cone to stop that from happening. Phew!
Luckily, he only has to wear his cone for the next 4-6 days, as well as he’ll be completely healed in the next 9 days or so as well as we can go back to our evening walks.
