Chunk's Neuter ... Take two

[BabyDuke]

I agree the hard part is keeping him calm BUT well worth it ... I know two bully owners that split their stiches open.. so be STRONG mommie no toys or running!
So happy it is over .. each day will get better and better.. lots of Love and hugs from Duke and I !

[MENTION=2099]LucysMum[/MENTION]. Chunk's been getting extra crate time too. We even left the house after we put him in there so he wouldn't think it was cause he was bad

At least your vet gave you pain meds. Our vet gave us pills which I assumed (in the rush to get out of the vet and get home) were pain meds. I researched them online and they are only antibiotics. So I called them to ask why (because I obviously don't want my baby in pain) and they said they don't give pain meds after a spay so that they take it easy and don't rip the stitches or lick the area. I was mad they didn't notify me of this. The first day she was out of it (which I posted about previously) but she soon went back to her old self which is extremely nerve wracking. She insists on jumping on the bed, the couch, and going up and down the stairs as usual. Cannot wait until she is fully healed up and can be a complete lunatic again.

Thanks [MENTION=2469]Angievelvet[/MENTION]!

[MENTION=2514]Sarah[/MENTION]. I feel like it's the same with Chunk - he thinks he's back to normal and just wants to run around and play!!! This morning I took him to watch my husband play softball and he was very calm, thank goodness. Just all the petting and attention he got tired him out. The only sad thing was that he was crying to get on the playground with the kids Not that he would even normally be allowed but it was sooo cute. A few of them came over to pet him and he was pawing at the fence to go in. It's going to be a long two weeks!!!

Thanks everyone! Well ... today it gets interesting. We noticed that the skin that was left after the neuter (the "scrotum sack" as the vet called it) looked like it was filling up with fluid. UGH. So we went to the vet. She said everything is okay, just swollen. That is from being too active (and he really isn't doing much of anything!!!) That this is common in older dogs after being neutered. However, she put him on antibiotics to be on the cautious side. But wait ... it gets better. His "sack" needs to be iced 2-3 times a day for 5-10 minutes. SERIOUSLY?!?!?! IF I DON'T LOVE THIS DOG, I DON'T LOVE ANYTHING!!! CANNOT believe I have to do this.

PS - [MENTION=2514]Sarah[/MENTION] I also mentioned to her that maybe we could stop the pain meds so he'll calm down and realize he's hurt. (Kinda like your vet was thinking. If they feel the pain, they will lay still more.) She disagreed and told me that a lot of studies have been done and they found that being in pain causes chemical reactions in the brain that slow the healing process!!! Thought you'd be interested in this info since that was your vet's take on things.
