I've had 6 males neutered, and with each one I worried to, it's surgery. Mine were all bouncing off the walls within a day or two:)) Cooper will be happy to have you home tomorrow, you can give him lots and lots of snuggles:))) I'm glad to hear everything went good. I had the vet tell me the opposite with Louie. I had them cut his nails when they checked his thyroid level. Whenever they cut his nails, they are soooooooooo short, but the vet said he doesn't have quicks, and said it's rare that a dog doesn't have quicks, but it's not a bad thing, it makes cutting their nails much easier, and without worry of hurting them.

As for the nails, my Shed chews her nails REALLY short! But it never seems to bother her having them short, so hopefully Cooper will be fine with it!

Well actually I got impatient and called! But Cooper is doing fine. I had them shorten his nails a little and I think the doctor might have misunderstood just how short I wanted them. (Eek!) I'll wait to see how they look. He had them cut on Saturday but they still were a little too long for me. The doctor cut them into the quick while he was out and cauterized (sp?) them. He kept saying he cut them waaay back. I hope they aren't too short. He said they might be sensitive for a few days. He said he had long quicks, probably because of his long body! LOL At first I thought he was being funny, but I think he was being serious! Thanks for the reassurance. I know I'm just being a overly nervous mommy. PS - I agree Laura, why does it always get to be easier for the boys?? Not fair! I just got a update from the vet. Well actually I got impatient and called! But Cooper is doing fine.

When I was a little kid our Springer Spaniel pulled her stitches out and her guts were hanging out, so I was totally paranoid. Auggie's incision was less than an inch long (we have a GREAT vet) and she acted like nothing ever happened! I was so nervous when I brought Auggie to get her little surgery!

It will probably be harder to keep him on the quiet side after the surgery than anything else. Bette is right, after a neutering (and why is it boys always have it easier than girls?) they bounce back quite quickly. Good that you'll be staying home with him though - I think your vet should prescibe a few long winter's naps to help him heal all that much faster. It is horrible to have to hear them cry isn't it?

Kirby was bouncing off the walls within 3 hours of getting his snip. Course then he would fall over cause he over did it. But he was just fine! They'll take great care of him. awww I’m sure he’ll do fine. Kirby was bouncing off the walls within 3 hours of getting his snip. Course then he would fall over cause he over did it.

Luckily it is not as evasive on boys as it is on girls. Baxter was back to his old self a day after he got home after his snip. Give Coopers lots of TLC and hugs when he gets home! I am sure he will be fine. We will keep our fingers crossed that everything goes well with Cooper’s snip surgery.
