Morse is being neutered today! I'm at work feeling really guilty and sorry for him...


Anyone have any advice on what he'll be like afterwards?


Thanks,


Gillian

Poor Morse. Im sure he'll be fine. Probably just a bit sleepy and feeling sorry for himself. Just keep him warm and plenty TLC

also have something light for Morse to eat for the next 24 hours, maybe egg, fish or chicken and just small amounts and oh yeah even more TLC.

Give him a gentle hug from us too.

I felt exactly the same with Douglas.   He was fine and has never looked back.

Alan, Douglas has never looked back just in case he sees whats missing


Gillian, Im sure Morse will be fine, Angus was no problem at all when he got the op. Just a bit of tlc and no running about till the stiches either disolve or are taken out and something light for dinner, Angus loved having chicken and boiled rice.


Hope he's ok.

Oh - ya.   It brings tears to the eyes just thinking about it.   


Seriously though, I was told that male neutering generally extends the dogs life by 2 - 3 years, due to lack of stress and much reduced risk of cancer.

Thanks Everyone!


He was perfectly fine when I came home from work but the anaesthetic had made him so sleepy he could only wag the tip of his tail when he saw me come in and couldn't get up. The funniest thing was the vet had told Michael to put a pair of shorts on him (so he wouldn't have to wear the head cone), so now he's hobbling around with a pair of Michael's boxers on! I can't help laughing even though I feel so sorry for him! Otherwise he seems fine - his appetite wasn't harmed at all and he wolfed down the pasta and tuna we spoiled him with. And he was up bright and early this morning so I think he's well on the mend. But i'll definitely get some aloe vera gel - good for when the scar gets itchy too I bet!


Cheers for all the advice,


Gillian

Not to forget good old arnica - two 6c pillules 3-4 times per day for about 3 days should help.

Big licks to Morse.

Arnica is great. Ziggy is getting some today and I have had great success post op myself with it.

Glad to hear Morse is on the mend. Jamie recovered really quickly last year when he was 'done' so I hope Morse is the same and doesn't need to wear his boxers for long!!


Big hugs and licks (from the pooches of course)

Hi,


If anyone wants to see Morse in his boxers, here's a link to some pics:

The poor dog! He's now well recovered from his op by the way, and is getting his stitches out this Thursday


Thanks for all the advice

I don't think it's a fashion trend he'll be sticking to  - he proved very adept at finding ways to take them off!!

Hee hee - isn't it funny what they'll put up with!  He looks really cute with shorts on!


Sim wasn't bothered by his op., and was out for a walk the next morning as normal.  He never bothered with his stitches either.

Hi, Welcome to the forum Morse & Gillian.   Glad he's recovering from his op.  The photos of Morse are superb, and the boxer shorts certainly bring a smile to one's face!!    I can well imagine him trying to get them off!

What a sweetie! I love the way he's lying all snuggled up with his long leggies curled under him. Harry does this and it makes me go every time.

He looks like one very much loved boy.
