Under normal conditions, there's no need for them to stay over night.? Be sure to get some pain pills to take home with you, in case they're needed (I gave one to Cesar before he went to sleep for the night) and Cesar had to wear one of those big plastic collars (that looks like a bonnet). I am told some vets no longer use those but it seemed to help Cesar, he never tried to lick or bite at the stiches. He wore the collar until the day I took him back to remove the stiches.

He is getting neutered.? Poor baby.? It was?SO hard to?drop him off this morning. ?I feel so bad and guilty?to put him through all that scary stuff.? He is so sensitive.? I hope his surgery goes well and he heals fast.? I am able to pick him up this evening.? At first the vet's office said he will stay overnight but I said No Way!? I want him home with me!? The vet said that would be best for such a little guy.? He would be so scared overnight in the vets with all those big dogs barking all night long.? Besides, there is no one there overnight to care for him.? He needs his Mommy. ? So, I am going to pick him up after work.? Wish him luck and pray he will be okay!? Does anyone have any tips on his care after the surgery?? What if he bites his stitches out or licks his wound too much? ? Stefanie (Worried Chi Mommy)
